Contemplative, scientist, and adventurer. My spirit for exploration and adventure led me to extended rockclimbing expeditions and to becoming a wilderness Trail Guide. This spirit eventually drew me inwards and I became a full-time aspiring yogi/meditator for three years. These days, as a graduate student at Princeton, I apply the scientific method to understand the human mind using mathematical modeling.
