$ Eddie Berman / About (Back)

I am a space cowboy turned symmetry skeptic. I am a current NSF GRFP Fellow and PhD student at Harvard advised by Melanie Weber. I work very broadly on applied mathematics and deep learning. Lately I've been drawn to various topics in mode connectivity and parameter space symmetry. I completed my mathematics undergraduate at Northeastern advised by Robin Walters, where I worked on pushing the limits of symmetry in machine learning.

Here's some material that's been occupying my mind lately, snail-mail me your thoughts! Here is some more academic material that doesn't belong anywhere else (my utils.py, if you will). Here is some (non) academic material, also occupying my mind. These can serve as conversation starters or opportunities for snap judgements :).

Here, you can find a couple of pictures of me where I am most happy ^_^, usually when I am attending conferences with my friends and traversing the local neighborhood.

Potpourri:

Ask me about Julia (the language), Julia (from Cowboy Bebop), Space Dandy, Swapfest at the Albany Street Garage, the 1980 Miracle on Ice, Jesper Bratt, Cities and Ambition, Sonny Boy, Biking in Boston, how I fell in love with science, and journal politics from a space cowboy turned symmetry skeptic. Tell me about your favorite experience while traveling. I've had 3 concussions (and counting). One time I contributed to this wikipedia article.

Don't ask me about New Jersey.

Currently stuffing my second shoe with my second brain.
