🔬 About — AI Researcher, Consultant & Educator

I study ants, Active Inference, and cognitive security — and build open-source tools at the intersection of Bayesian modeling, computational biology, and information ecosystem design. I am available for AI research consulting, tutoring, and collaboration on projects involving Active Inference, machine learning, and computational science.

• 🐜 Entomologist — PhD (Stanford University, 2014-2019 with Prof. Deborah Gordon) on the behavioral, physiological, and transcriptomic bases of collective behavior in harvester ants
• 🧠 Active Inference Researcher — Researcher, educator, and organizer at the Active Inference Institute working on federated inference, variational evolutionary dynamics, and multi-agent generative models; builder of computational AI frameworks (CEREBRUM, GNN, InferAnts)
• 🛡️ Cognitive Security Expert — Author of books and papers on narrative information ecosystems, digital rhetorical analysis, and formal multiagent security frameworks at COGSEC.org
• 🎨 Artist & Philosopher — Ink, metal, and collaborative art; explorations of William Blake, Buckminster Fuller, and Synergetics
• 📺 Educator & Tutor — 500+ Active Inference livestreams, 200+ personal channel streams, university courses, conference workshops, open-source curricula, and private tutoring
