Disclaimer: As I said in class, I only post these notes due to students requests. I typically type them rapidly and right before class, so they are extremely likely to have mistakes!
Welcome.
I am a mathematician and a physicist, and the chief scientist and a cofounder of Nutrino.
I work in a number of scientific areas, primarily on deep learning and AI, general relativity, integrable systems, partial differential equations, and the foundations of quantum theory. I am particularly fascinated by the problem of radiation reaction. I love applications of mathematics to everyday life, and my current work and research in Nutrino is a brave attempt to form a new interdisciplinary field I like to call "mathematical nutrition".
Here you can find information about my research, teaching, travels, and occasional ideas or projects I'm working on.
My curriculum vitae is available in the about page.

Problem of the arrow of time
Problem of radiation reaction
This is just the beginning of a very interesting list. More problems to come, hopefully with some explanation.
