Beyond Research
field notes from the parts of life that don’t fit in a BibTeX entry
There’s a version of me that proves theorems and runs experiments — and then there’s this page. Beyond research, I’m someone who simply loves being alive: chasing a sunrise up a volcano, learning things badly until I learn them well, trading a quiet weekend for a new trail, a new city, a new dish, a new friend. New experiences are how I keep life colorful, and my camera is how I keep the evidence. Every pin on the map below comes straight from the photos: a place I have actually stood.
