Every term without a fault an undergrad tells me "I spent 2 hours on this problem and you identified it in under a minute", and every term without a fault I answer "it took me over a decade to identify it in under a minute"

Yesterday I had great fun teaching hyperdimensional computing, the algebra of concepts, to biodesign students. Learn how to build a brain: Slides🛝: speakerdeck.com/michielstock... Notebook🎈: kermit-ugent.github.io/HDC_tutorial/ Repo🐙: github.com/Kermit-UGent...

Having so much fun coming up with examples on how to compute using hyperdimensional computing. Just read Kanerva's "What's the dollar of Mexico?" paper and decided to roll it out on my project presentation to explain this computing paradigm.

I think I’ll never get sick of doing research on the train.

Thesis update: Got to the point where biology stopped being 'biology' and became pure math (with some semantics sprinkled?). Wild to think I almost became a regular wetlab biochemist instead of... whatever this is

Had an awesome time this week at @netbiomed2025.bsky.social and @netsciconf.bsky.social. Very interesting talks and posters and nice people, I couldn’t be more excited to get back to working on this topic to study biological processes.

Just finish migrating all of my markdown notes to orgmode using Neovim and pandoc, over 500 notes converted in less than 10 minutes thanks to neovim macros, quickfix and replace. I love it when I am able to use Neovim in complex things like this, it's such a breeze knowing this editor properly

Yesterday I realized that my custom note taking system was slowly converting into org mode, so here I am moving everything to nvim-orgmode. Overall, pretty impressed but it’s going to take me some time to get used to it

GraphBLAS is so elegant, I want to have a huge GPU to run all my graph algorithms as linear algebra operations

Played around today with hyperdimensional computing. Really enjoyed it but it requieres some extra effort to go against my previous modelling mindset Delve into the hypervectors

Just spent 2 hours debugging lua code to find out I had a typo that made my función recurse infinitely. The recursion was so fast even Neovim couldn’t detect it when throwing a StackOverflow error.

Looking for a #PhD that is at the intersection of #biodesign, #synbio, #openendedness, #evolution? Look no further. Great supervisory team too 😉
