I study information
as a physical object.

I explore how information, computation, and physical law constrain one another—from observer-dependent information in relativity to plasma turbulence and the foundations of intelligent systems.

Information theoryTheoretical physicsAI foundationsPlasma turbulenceRelativity

I am drawn to questions where an abstract idea becomes a measurable law.

My path began in theoretical physics: first with spacetime, then with nonlinear plasma dynamics, and increasingly with information itself. Across these subjects, I found the same instinct guiding me—to strip a problem down to the quantities an observer can actually know and ask what survives every valid change of description.

I now want to develop a physics of intelligent systems. Modern AI can be trained before it can be fully understood; I am interested in the information-theoretic and physical principles that might explain what representations are formed, what computation costs, and what makes a system reliable.

Ideas developed through derivation, modeling, and design.

These are independent research explorations and competition projects—not formal journal publications.

Lorentz transformations as maps between observers’ information

I constructed an axiomatic language in which one observer “reads” another observer’s spacetime information. By examining reciprocity, composition, world-line constraints, and information invariants, I explored how the Lorentz structure can emerge from relations between observations rather than being assumed at the outset.

Finite-Larmor-radius correction to flow-shear suppression

Building on the Hahm–Burrell decorrelation picture, I introduced gyroaveraging through a Bessel-function factor to study how finite ion gyroradius modifies the critical shearing rate for edge-turbulence suppression. The project connected local fluctuation physics to the broader question of the L–H transition threshold.

Passive constant-rate intravenous flow regulator

I designed a non-electronic mechanism intended to compensate for the pressure decrease of an IV bag as its fluid level falls. The project evolved through vacuum, spring, and gravitational-feedback concepts, with sterility, adjustability, and changes in patient arm height treated as core design constraints.

Begin with observables

Clarify what information is physically available before choosing the mathematical description.

B

Search for invariants

Use symmetry and conserved structure to distinguish essential physics from coordinate-dependent detail.

Reconnect to mechanism

Return every formal result to a concrete process—measurement, transport, computation, or control.

A space reserved for future milestones.
