Now
what I'm up to these days
What do I do right now?
I was finishing my PhD at the University of Toronto. I had been aiming to graduate August 2020, but COVID has introduced delays.
Unfortunately, I fell ill and have been on medical leave since January 2021. My life is functionally on hold until my health improves.
I study meta-awareness and attention for my primary PhD work. See my about page for more on that.
I also study psychedelics and have published some of the first research on psychedelic microdosing (more here). I co-founded the Psychedelic Studies Research Program at the University of Toronto and we submitted a Clinical Trial Application to Health Canada to run research on psilocybin microdosing. I also co-founded the Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science as a firm to consult with industry partners.
I did a podcast in December 2019 where I talk about microdosing and about meditation, another area of my research and the topic of my Master’s thesis.
My CV and contact info are here. Feel free to reach out.
