I am a high functioning geek; I am engineer with a PhD in Computational Neuroscience, but these days I mostly manage projects; I am a simple person, though not simplistic. My friends say I am not for the fainthearted, eg, I am not interested in talking about the weather, instead I would rather be talking about something that is important to you, or inspires you.

Одно удивительное, что я сделал

Учить, учиться, делиться
I have a PhD in computational neuroscience (ie, "how the brain works"), a deep understanding of dynamical systems (both chaotic and linearly seperable), a love of nature. We are building a aquaponics and gourmet mushroom grow room on our property. Along with our fruit trees, it is an opportunity to learn how to grow your own foods/plants. I am interested in sharing personal spiritual experiences/hacking.
