Personal Interests

• Beyond research, I am passionate about music. 

• I used to write classic-rock-inspired music in my bedroom. Check out my album: The Comet Made of Clouds. 

• I'm continually amazed by the progress of AI-generated music. Check out Beethoven's Ode to Joy transferred to Beatles style by Flow Machines: [Video].

• Long-term questions that fascinate me: 

  • How does creativity differ from synthesizing one’s past inputs (drawings one has seen, music one has listened to, mathematical proofs one has read, etc.) and perhaps adding some noise?
