At work:

• I'm currently working at the Center for Biological and Computational Learning on a mathematical theory of the visual cortex with Tomaso Poggio, Andrea Caponnetto (CityU HK), and Steve Smale (TTI-C).
• A brief CV and list of publications.

Extracurricular pursuits:

• I'm interested in capital markets. In particular, high-frequency futures/forex machine trading, statistical arbitrage strategies, and learning market-making behaviors in both constrained markets and illiquid/inefficient markets.
• synths. I used to prefer having a hardware r1g, with lots of knobs and buttons...but I've been slowly selling off my gear in favor of a software setup. I'm also trying to sell my Roland TR-808. If you want one and are prepared to offer a realistic price (check ebay for recent market prices), let me know.
• travel. I like to travel. A lot. My list pales in comparison to some of the crazies around here (such as this guy), but I'm working on it: Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Norway, England, France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Egypt, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Macau.
• books. I used to read lots of fiction. But now its mostly non-fiction. Update: I don't have time to read for fun anymore.

Messed up/scary signs I've seen over the course of my travels.

My k-rad 1967 Innocenti Mini 850cc is here.
