Hello there!
I work on the theoretical foundations of cognitive science and AI.
I am currently a senior at University of Michigan’s Weinberg institute for Cognitive Science, doing my honors thesis with Prof. Richard Lewis and Prof. Chandra Sripada. During the past year, I was a visiting student at UCL, where I was affiliate with the MetaLab, and was a summer AI fellow at the Institute of Philosophy, University of London via the London AI and Humanity Project. Prior to those, I spent my first-year in the Cognitive Science MA program at The University of Edinburgh.
Beside academic stuff, I spend time listening to classic/alternative rock & metal, reading 20th Century literature, playing table tennis, making Lego MOCs, and speedwalking on random streets while zoning out.
My internet presence is usually under the name @carrot0817 (or something that includes this string) along with this avatar:
