For as long as I can remember, the mystery of how the world ticks has gripped me. Dancing between my intuition of religion and my scientific curiosity, I’ve been searching for the point at which these two contradictions meet.

As a computational biologist and generative AI engineer, my research aims to understand how multi-dimensional data modalities can be leveraged and understood using AI. I am fascinated to understand how the flow of information networks can result in the emergence of complexity — both biological and artificial.

In the domain of artificial intelligence, I study these complex systems in the form of generative neural networks. Applying engineering principles, I enjoy building tools that leverage these technologies to enable advancements in human innovation. Reed Bender Consulting, LLC, was created to help empower free individuals and teams with the knowledge of AI at their fingertips.

In the domain of biological intelligence, I study these systems in the form of human energy networks. The human body possesses a vast intelligence embedded within our cells, and my aim is to understand how these energy webs function as information systems. This involves a number of research projects exploring human neuroanatomy and teaching breathwork classes in Boston, MA.

AI has by now succeeded in doing essentially everything that requires ‘thinking,’ but has failed to do most of what people and animals do ‘without thinking’ — that, somehow, is much harder!
