ABOUT ME

i am playful-inquisitive, quiet but lo-fi confident. i'm fond of: idle-time to daydream; libraries, especially the dusty corners; and, ellipses..., dashes and other punctuation. stretching like a cat also rates up there!

to be less elusive... i'm a phd student looking at particle simulations. this entails building prototypes, conducting experiments and drinking lots of tea.

i appreciate my friends, late sessions with books, dancing, reading eecummings and other poetry, op-art and the theatre, climbing up trees, and listening to deviant music.

PHILOSOPHY

always be curious
