Research Interests

Current:
Testing sentiment transmission in social interaction chains across various models.

Recent:
How groups converge onto shared truth from limited individual knowledge, even when it’s hard.

Future:

Blood on the clocktower as an experiment! Adversarial emotional communication. What’s a vibe?
Schemas and emotion-cuing in social memory formation. (people are strange / when you’re a stranger; faces look ugly / when you’re alone)
Neuronal network level models of memory formation, neural oscillation/criticality, and belief updating in different emotional states. A cortical column is just doing math.
Application of human memory efficiencies to AI; what may be called AI socialization/welfare (look at the sun)
Information cascades across all network scales.
Human personality manifold and how we cue identity, online and offline. I’m coded…
