Research Experience
  • Researcher at Okinawa Institute for Science and Technology and Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences; served as Instruction Chair for Neuromatch Academy; manuscript proofreader and reviewer for several journals and conferences; recurrently consults and advises technology ventures.
Background
  • Interested in the behavioral and neurobiological correlates of mental health interventions via hyperscanning; drawing on active-inference theory, process philosophy, and embodied cognition, he models interpersonal neural networks via information geometry to examine how collective priors and affect drive shared intelligence in agential systems.
Miscellany
  • Beyond academia, applies research insights to AI-driven product development, genomic diagnostics partnerships, and medtech market intelligence.
