Personal

When I'm not doing research, I enjoy reading books, watching movies, and visiting museums. Some of my favorite books include The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard and Thomas the Obscure by Maurice Blanchot. My favorite movie is Last Year at Marienbad by Alain Resnais. My recent favorite painter is Agnes Pelton, whose transcendental works are largely influenced by the desert environment I'm currently living in southwest America. They provide me with insights about important questions that cannot be fully answered by reason or experience.
