From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Feb 9	comment	How does evolution help in Minsky's theory of a resourceful mind? I like this question, but I've been having a hard time of finding info about Minsky's theory of a resourceful mind, and don't have access to the book. Are there some online sources that explain it or similar theories?
