Citation Graph Analysis

An analysis of 50 years of OpenAlex data on how a paper's interdisciplinarity relates to mutual citations — pairs of papers that cite each other. Grouping papers by field diversity, it finds that the more fields a paper cites, the less likely any citation is reciprocated — a decline that holds across every group over time.

Community

Open Source

Since January 2026 I've contributed refactors, bug fixes, and documentation to established open-source projects — including python-humanize/humanize and the Munich Quantum Toolkit — working through maintainers' code-review cycles to get changes merged. The full list of repos with my merged PRs is below, pulled live from GitHub.

Multipliers of human capability: Inventions that charted the way to AGI

Innovation is a consistent process of offloading biological limitations — digestion, memory, muscle, and now cognition — onto external systems. From fire to the transistor, each breakthrough paved the way for artificial general intelligence.
