I am the author of "The Illusion Engine: The Quest for Machine Consciousness" (Springer Nature, 2025) and co-author of "Introduction to Deep Learning" (Springer, TBP), with over a decade of both research and machine learning engineering experience. My research interests cut across philosophy of mind, AI consciousness and hallucinations, logic, philosophy of science, and astrobiology.
