Brief Biographical Sketch:
Although it's shameless bragging, probably the most interesting thing about me is that at 16 years old, I'm MIT's youngest grad student. I targeted my research group at the Media Lab ("Physics and Media") as an awesome place to work since I was 8, reading a book about future developments written by its professor. Unfortunately, you can only work there by moving to Boston, and having undergrad degrees is a requirement too. Somehow (I'm not quite sure how), I managed to do all that plus some software consulting without taking too much time, and now, here I am. My research is vaguely in programming models that are aware of the physics that any actual computer must obey, and allow hard problems to scale (in every sense of the word). My interests are anything that's related to math, from math itself to programming languages to biology to music to physics to engineering to philosophy to chemistry to sociology. It's amazing how much can be seen as math if you're obsessed enough with it.
