I’m a post-doc scholar in philosophy at the universities of Bonn und Tübingen (Germany). My research project is concerned with the Kantian concept of homo noumenon and its so-called ‘inner right’. The project is supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation for two years. Based on this research I’m also working on my ‘Habilitation’ (my second book), in which I deal with the various models of exposition and/or justification of human rights. |

I came to visit to explore the Kuhnian interpretation of my quantum theory of turbulence (The Quantum Nature of Turbulence; New York: Nova Science Publishers, 2011). In the effort to do so, I have found an exact solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes equation (see my Results in Physics, 2011), the traditional unsuccessful paradigm for explaining turbulence using the continuum model. I showed that with the exact solution, there is no turbulence, hence developing a need for a new approach in my more definitive book, The Quantum Theory of Turbulence, forthcoming in 2012. To distract myself, I am developing a new insight on the arrow of time, and exploring the Strominger (Harvard) discovery that the Navier-Stokes equation is mathematically related to the solution of the Einstein field equations in the event horizon surrounding a black hole! My thesis is simple: turbulence is a macroscopic manifestation of the quantum nature of matter. |

I am a PhD in Philosophy and a trained Neuropsychologist interested in building an empirical approach to the phenomenology of personal identity. My research projects focus on the sense of self in patients with cognitive or bodily massive disabilities (demented patients, locked-in patients respectively). As an interdisciplinary project, this work has both a philosophical and an ethical goal: A) to better understand the nature of the processes involved in forming and maintaining the sense of self and B) to improve the quality of life in patients with a feeling of alienation due to their pathology. |

Previously in Neuropsychology under Ken Nakayama. Presently, I run an art gallery in Red Hook, Brooklyn (smallnewyork.com).
Topic: On the origins of the human 'imaging impulse'. Consider how many times a day you are inadvertently 'prompted' by manmade iterations of common forms. Try billions. Perhaps there's a survival advantage in this? As an artist, the language of visualization remains painfully frustrating -- why does one bend in a line here versus there collapse its imitative legibility? The perception and execution of it begs the obvious: that it is generic synesthesia, transducing an interior visualization to a free-standing event by means of our polysensory pathways (kinestheics, haptics, musculo skeletal, propiosensory...) and of course emotive. When you draw a tree next time, be aware of the tensing in your back, the sensation of touching the bark. It's not as simple as you think. Contact me if you want to argue this! |
