representation learning
On modality-invariant geometry
When ECG and echo embeddings share geometric structure, the model learns something closer to cardiac state than either modality alone. The missing modality problem becomes a projection problem.

Working thoughts and partial conclusions
incomplete by designprotein design
Noncanonical amino acids as design space
Standard amino acids are just the beginning. ncAAs expand the chemical vocabulary available for protein engineering. Logic gates become possible at the molecular level.
data curation
Clinical data is never clean
35,000 scans became 1,000 usable cases. The curation process is the research. Understanding why data fails alignment reveals more about the clinical workflow than the data itself.
neural engineering
MRI-negative epilepsy
When imaging shows nothing, other signals must speak. EEG features, metabolic proxies, clinical semiology—triangulating the epileptogenic zone from its functional shadows.
systems
Infrastructure as constraint
HPC pipelines force you to think in terms of batches, queues, and resource allocation. The computational substrate shapes what questions you can afford to ask.
