Hi! I'm Andrew, a researcher who loves to learn about the world, make things, and go on adventures.
I'm always excited to meet new people, so if you want to go hiking together, do a puzzle hunt, play a duet, or sneak into an oceanography conference, send me an email at mass@hey.com!
My primary interests are deep reinforcement learning, complexity theory, and quantum information. However, I am also quite interested in interdisciplinary approaches to neuroscience, drug development, and astronomy.
Here are some projects I've done, in no particular order.
Cavendish Labs
A research laboratory coming soon to Vermont, addressing threats like strong AI and pandemics.
Lexington Domains
A startup I co-founded with Derik, providing the .lex.ma top-level domain to Lexington businesses and residents.

Russia: A Nation of Contrasts

Foosbot
The first* fully** autonomous*** foosball robot. Created with Markus and Derik of TuomiLabs for LexHack 2016.
Holzer or GPT-3?
Can you tell the work of American neo-conceptual artist Jenny Holzer from fake quotes generated by GPT-3?
U.S. Evolution Simulator
What would happen if counties could secede and join neighboring states they like more?
I've attended both UCLA and UofT for undergrad. My favorite classes have been the UCLA analysis sequence (2019), Targeted Drug Delivery and Controlled Drug Release (2019), Neural Networks and Deep Learning (2020), Computer Graphics (2021), Neurogenomics (2021), and Quantum Computation (2021).
You can always email me at mass@hey.com; you can also find me on Twitter and GitHub.
I am currently in the San Francisco Bay area, if you want to meet!
