It started with a frustrating observation during a late-night experiment. I had been building an agentic AI system to help triage oncology patients — nothing exotic, just a retrieval-augmented LLM tha...
About eight months ago, I found myself deep in a rabbit hole that started innocently enough: I was reading a paper on temporal logic constraints for drone flight paths, and I kept asking myself a nagg...
Most "post-quantum readiness" tooling asks you to fill in a questionnaire about your own...
My journey into this topic started with a frustrating week spent trying to validate whether a recycled polymer batch in a simulated circular supply chain had actually originated from the facility it c...
Last spring, while experimenting with a cheap pneumatically actuated soft gripper modeled after an octopus arm, I ran into a problem that I initially dismissed as a calibration quirk. The silicone fin...
Last spring, I found myself hunched over a laptop at 2 AM, staring at a dataset of 4,200 annotated sentences in Nahuatl — a language with roughly 1.7 million speakers, most of them elders, scattered a...
Last year, while deep in a late-night experiment with a multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) system, I hit a wall that fundamentally changed how I think about autonomous decision-making. I had buil...
When I first started experimenting with soft robotic arms modeled after octopus tentacles, I ran into a deceptively simple problem: predicting *when* a silicone actuator would fail. Traditional thresh...
Six months ago, I was deep into a rabbit hole studying knowledge distillation for a completely different reason — I wanted to compress a large vision transformer into something that could run on a mic...
While exploring the intersection of multi-agent reinforcement learning and Federated Learning (FL) last year, I stumbled upon a problem that kept me up at night. I was simulating a swarm of autonomous...
Six months ago, I was deep into a research sprint on circular economy optimization. I had built what I thought was a solid agentic AI pipeline—a multi-agent system where LLM-driven planners negotiated...
Last summer, I spent three weeks embedded with a small farming cooperative in the Central Valley, watching their newly installed solar-powered microgrid struggle against reality. The system had been t...
