Hello, my name is Evan Drake. I am a computer science researcher among other things. I enjoy writing about my hobbies be that research or about some of the interesting books I read. I graduated in 2024 with my masters (my thesis can be found below), and currently I am taking a break from academic study but I plan on returning for my PhD in the coming years. To stay sharp I decided to start writing about some of the research side quests I have been doing. This website includes both a blog for less formal writings (usually) and a projects tab where you can find some of my ongoing projects. I will try to post news about both my interests and some interesting books/publications I read.
