I study Philosophy and Physics at Columbia University as a John Jay Scholar, aspiring to establish intelligence in space and expand our conscious timescale in the universe. I take inspiration from Brendan Mccord's idea of a Benjamin-Franklin-like figure who is a philosopher founder. During my entrepreneurial quests, I've accumulated $1M in profits across 4–5 businesses in Central Asia as a teen founder. Previously Harvard Smithsonian and ONDO Space (Seraphim-backed) and collaborating with Princeton Space Physics, NASA JPL, and Brown.
Education: Columbia College, B.A. Physics; minors Philosophy & AI · John Jay Scholar · Funded research: Black Hole Explorer
Western classical thought at Columbia's Philosophy department, following the example of David Albert and the philosophical foundations of physics. Outside the syllabus, I study Buddhist philosophy with Tibetan teachers in the Nalanda lineage. Borges is the writer I keep returning to, and the work keeps circling the same three things: time, the universe, and thermodynamics.
Professor Brian Greene put an eye of Horus in my hand in my first year, and Origins and Meaning did the rest: Russell, Tolstoy, and Ernest Becker read alongside cosmology. Since then, research in astrophysics, spacesuits, mission design, and black holes, collected in the portfolio. What I want now is to build the instruments these questions require.
