Hi, I'm Akansha. I study math and physics at the University of Chicago, and I'd like to understand what it means for a system—or a person—to understand itself. This question has led me through various different interests, the most relevant being quantum computing and inductive biases, existentialism, AI (mis)alignment, and metaphysics and epistemology.
In my free time, I love to read and write, although the quality of my writing seems to suggest that I don't do either very often (feel free to check and judge accordingly). Above all, I like learning cool math and interesting philosophy—I believe both are necessary for rational inquiry into the nature of our reality.
