My Writing Elsewhere
I have a popular science book coming out! It’s called “Models of the Mind: How physics, engineering and mathematics have shaped our understanding of the brain”. Find out more about the book and how to get it here!
I won an essay contest hosted by Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative and the piece—about how black holes can be built in the lab—was published in Nautilus.
I wrote about cortical cartography and the history of the concept of “maps” in the brain for Lateral
My Aeon piece is about how we can compare artificial intelligence to the brain
I interviewed Scott Aaronson about the relationship between quantum computing and black holes and wrote about it here
I occasionally write for the Simons Foundation:
Illuminating the Dark Parameter Space of Neuroscience Modeling
Uncovering Hidden Dimensions in Brain Signals
Frustrated Fish Reveal Glia’s Computational Role in Motivated Behavior
How Important Is Spike Sorting?
Recurrent Connections Improve Neural Network Models of Vision
