Guru Biographies

I'm a fairly directed man. I've got interests in fictional writing (short stories and novellas), humorous writing, mathematics, physics, philosophy, cryptography, programming, artificial intelligence (genetic algorithms, neural nets, natural language synthesis and parsing, game playing and artificial life), juggling, basketball, 3d graphics, movies (writing screenplays for, envisioning and watching), monkeys, 2 minute noodles cooked in 45 seconds, soft drinks, languages (foreign and constructed), cocktail making, techno music mixing, Zen Buddhism, religions in general, psychic and mystic phenomena, role-playing games, martial arts, urban legends, Greek Mythology, classical literature, card-throwing and sound editing. And in my spare time I'm doing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Queensland. I'm majoring in maths and hope to get into honours.

My mathematical interests lie in: number theory, foundations (set theory, model theory, and logic), abstract algebra, combinatorics, graph theory and algorithms. My specialized interests are in the Axiom of Choice, continued fractions, hypergeometric functions, stuff involving infinities and kewl sequences of integers.

I did two years of theoretical physics, and currently tutor first years, so I haven't totally lost the jive. I like debating the philosophical issues of quantum physics just to irritate die-hard physicists.
