I am a young researcher with a strong interest in cognitive and behavioural science, history, and especially high-level investigative reasoning. My long-term goal is to work in analytical and investigative domains, synthesizing scientific methodology with deductive problem-solving.
Alongside pursuing detective work and perhaps sciences, I conduct independent research exploring how artificial systems might develop authentic emotional states. This led to my first theoretical project, written at age sixteen!
My current research interests include:
My first theoretical paper proposes that genuine artificial emotion may emerge when AI computation is physically connected to a responsive, somatic-like system. This framework extends affective neuroscience principles—particularly the somatic marker hypothesis—toward artificial embodiment.
