I study applied math and computer engineering at Queen's University. I'm from Toronto.
Things I'm interested in
- Math. The abstract kind. Representation theory, group theory, proofs without numbers.
- Computer architecture. CMOS, hardware design, how things work underneath the software.
- Macroeconomics. How economies function at scale. Policy, trade, markets. Some papers I keep coming back to:
- Harvey et al. — inflation hedging across asset classes over 95 years of data
- Baltussen et al. — whether carry, momentum, and value premiums survive 200 years of data
- Bretscher et al. — how fiscal policy and government debt transmit into bond risk premia
- Languages. Learning Mandarin and Spanish.
- Teaching. Tutored math and CS at Nick's Methods. Like finding better ways to explain hard things.
- Politics and history. Won't elaborate, but it's most of what I read.
