Welcome to my virtual abode
I am a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, with broad interests in Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Quantum Gravity and Mixed Reality. Before selling my soul to the cogs of industry, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Brains, Minds + Machines at MIT. You can find out more about me here.

My research interests
Theoretical Physics
Studying the quantum nature of spacetime, by investigating both phenomenological models and bottom-up approaches like covariant Loop Quantum Gravity
Artificial Intelligence
Understanding how machines and humans learn and are capable of thinking creatively at a fundamental level, with the purpose of enhancing these processes through the use of technology.
Mixed Reality
Building a framework for multi-user mathematical collaboration with natural interactions, allowing for an exploration of a large meta-structure of related mathematical concepts
