Brief Biographical Sketch:

(You can find me at http://blog.davidad.net)

Although it's shameless bragging, probably the most interesting thing about me is that at 14 years old, I was the youngest person to ever start a graduate program at MIT. 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 more aware of the real world, its constrains and semantics. 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. It's amazing how much can be seen as math if you're obsessed enough with it.
