Short Bio
I am passionate about computer science. I am fascinated by how humans are capable of spotting and learning extremely complex concepts from their environment. By merging symbolic and sub-symbolic AI, intuition and reasoning, my big dream is to give machines similar capabilities.
I’m a fun of human mind from all viewpoints. I am totally enraptured by the capabilities of a man of changing his own destiny and his own life by changing his way of thinking. In this direction, buddhist teaching is extremely enlightening.
I am a pianist and I love post-impressionist classical music. My favorite composer is Debussy, the dreamer.
