About me: I am a trained mathematician and computer scientist with expertise in cryptography, computational biology, and complex systems, including agent-based modeling and AI-driven automation. My interests lie at the intersection of LLM agents, cryptography, and intelligent multi-agent systems, with applications in privacy, security, and scientific discovery. I focus on developing AI-driven workflows that enhance efficiency and decision-making across domains, from biological systems to secure computation.
In late 2023, I developed a web app for automating agent workflow creation through a chat-based CLI programming language, enabling users to connect agents, define memory constraints, and encrypt inputs as needed. Throughout 2024, I held the role of founding Senior ML Scientist at a stealth-stage startup, where my work focused on leveraging genetic algorithms with LLM agents to optimize outputs across various metrics.
From November 2022 through 2023, I was a Program Manager and Senior Research Scientist at ParityBit Technologies Inc, where my research focused on cryptography, cloud computing, computational biology, and privacy-enhancing technologies.
From December 2018 to January 2022, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT CSAIL under the supervision of Manolis Kellis. My work in the Kellis Lab applied mathematical methods to developing analytical techniques for genomics and machine learning.
From December 2020 to November 2021, I collaborated with the Koch Institute at MIT under the supervision of Leonard Guarante, focusing on analyzing genomic data to identify causal variants using GWAS-inspired techniques as part of the Guarante Lab.
From February 2017 to November 2018, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT under the supervision of David Spivak, where my research explored applications of category theory in biology and computer science.
From March 2012 to September 2016, I pursued a PhD in Mathematics, at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, under the supervision of Michael Batanin (first supervisor) and Steve Lack (second supervisor).
My thesis focused on proving the Homotopy Hypothesis for Grothendieck's ∞-groupoids, extending foundational work from (Pursuing stacks, 1983).
In 2010, I was introduced to research in post-quantum cryptography through an intership at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, under the supervision of Ron Steinfeld. My research optimized the ciphertext/key size complexity of an LWE-based trapdoor function and encryption scheme [SSTX09], reducing it from $O(n^2\mathsf{log}(n)^2)$ to $O(n\mathsf{log}(n))$.
My research interests more widely concern the relationships between category theory, algebraic topology, combinatorics, logics, computer science, biology and physics.
