After six years, my time in San Diego is coming to an end. I’m very happy to share that I successfully defended my PhD in Biology at UC San Diego. I’m grateful to my advisor, my committee, collaborators, friends, and family for their mentorship, support, and encouragement throughout these years.

This is the first time I actually generated one myself in claude. When did Anthropic add the animation where it adds each part of the svg individually? Certainly getting better every day

CCA has come up so many times during my PhD that I finally wrote it all down. felix.phd/blog/cca/

Schematic representation of Canonical Correlation Analysis on two-dimensional data. Two scatter plots side by side, one in blue and one in red, each with a covariance ellipse and an arrow indicating the CCA-optimal projection direction. Between them, two overlapping density curves show the projected values along each direction, illustrating a canonical correlation of 0.90.

Guess international students can't apply for a postdoc at MIT🙃
