In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

I am a recent college graduate with a degree in economics and an interest in public policy, complexity theory, architecture, and artificial intelligence. I focus my research on multidisciplinary approaches to addressing social problems such as economic growth and technological change, balancing market dynamics and social welfare, and long-term policy planning to address ‘wicked problems’ of poverty and climate change. I also have an intense interest in the role of art and architecture in daily life and combining the humanities with technological and scientific skill sets. I want to try and help society embrace the fruits of our technological labor, while also finding value in balancing modern life with the arts, nature, and philosophy. I myself hope to find a career as an economist and data scientist in the public policy field, but I am also dedicated to developing philosophical and aesthetic ideas that can help us navigate and find happiness in our increasingly complex world.
