If you haven't already guessed, my name is Murdock. I am a research intern at Boson AI, a faculty affiliate researcher at the Vector Institute under Professor Vardan Papyan, and a Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) student at UofT in the applied mathematics stream.
In 2024, I graduated with a HBSc in Mathematics and Physics from UofT. I have previously conducted research on topics in numerical analysis under Professor
James Bremer, and also on particle physics and deep learning at DUNE under Professor Nikolina Ilic. More information on my current and past projects can be found
here.
A closer look at my academic background can be found
here.
I am originally from Collingwood, Ontario, however I now live in
downtown Toronto. I have always pushed myself to be the best at everything I can, and in the former half of my life, this largely took the form of freestyle skiing; some videos can be found
here.
However, for the last several years, most of my efforts have been focussed on cultivating my technical
skills. More generally, I love solving difficult problems.
