A neuroscience grad student working in the intersections of machine learning, neuroimaging, and meditation neuroscience. Like to pretend I'm a gardener on the side, but my plants know that's a lie. Live in a co-operative living house and love it. Addicted to learning and love to try new things and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

They don't pay grad students enough. I wan't to be able to attend scientific conferences without going completely broke.

Interests

• coding
• fancying myself a gardener
• debates about the nature of consciousness

Music, Movies, and Books

Harold and Maude -- all time favorite

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught an artificial neural network to sing along to Pink Floyd as part of development of a new theory on the origins of human language (well.. I call it singing).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a sponge to just about whatever sparks your soul to go out and enjoy the world. <3
