A Love Letter to the Universe
Written through physics, mathematics, and the questions that begin where equations end. Somewhere in trying to understand the universe, I found a reflection of myself.
Part II: The 0s and 1s Inside CPUs and GPUs
Before we compare CPUs and GPUs, we need to understand what a core is doing from the inside. This part looks at instruction memory, the program counter, the instruction register, the control unit, the register file, and the ALU.
Applying to Graduate School: Student Perspectives
Practical advice from students who have navigated graduate applications. What worked, what did not, and what they wish they had known.
The Psychology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Poetry of Loss
Loss is something we slowly learn to live around. This blog explores its psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and poetry, from attachment and memory to grief, meaning, and absence.
Part I: The 0s and 1s Inside CPUs and GPUs
Before a CPU or GPU can run a program, it first needs a way to turn electricity into 0s and 1s. This part starts at silicon and slowly builds up to the transistor, the tiny switch at the heart of every modern chip.
Reflections on My First Year of Ph.D.
The beauty of beginning, the pressure of fast-moving AI research, the mistakes I made, and the small moments that kept me going.
Light Comes in Dumplings
The world looks continuous because we are too large to see its smallest steps. Planck’s constant reveals those steps through , showing that light comes in tiny packets called photons.
