Background
Research interests include building intelligent systems from first principles, exploring how intelligence emerges from behaviorally rich and understructured environments. Focuses on understanding what makes behavior intelligent, designing systems that learn internal structure from raw behavioral input, and creating conditions where models discover abstraction and reasoning through learning.
