Now

Finishing Grade 12 while building, researching, and following questions that genuinely interest me.

Last updated: August 8, 2026

This is a /now page. It tells you what I'm focused on at this point in my life.

Right Now

  • Finishing Grade 12 and strengthening my foundations in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science.
  • Preparing seriously for competitive examinations while trying to become better at solving unfamiliar problems rather than just completing more questions.
  • Building a habit of turning curiosity into experiments, projects, and actual research.

Building

  • MechLang — a domain-specific language for representing and rendering organic reaction mechanisms.
  • FocusVector — a privacy-conscious browser extension exploring whether observable reading behavior can be used to estimate attention drift.
  • This website — an evolving record of my projects, research, writing, experiments, and ideas.

Research

  • Investigating why chemistry textbooks report apparently identical electron gain enthalpies for argon and krypton.
  • Tracing the historical origin of the reported values through primary literature.
  • Using scattering theory to investigate whether there is a deeper physical explanation behind the observation.

Learning

  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • Quantum computing and quantum information
  • Mathematics, physics, and computational methods
  • Programming and software engineering

Thinking About

  • How to tell whether a research question is genuinely open or simply unfamiliar.
  • How computational tools can help investigate scientific questions without replacing physical reasoning.
  • Why seemingly simple observations sometimes hide surprisingly deep explanations.
  • How to turn curiosity into disciplined, reproducible work.
