Personal Projects

Just some things I have done in my spare time...

Trump Tweet Analysis

I have replicated David Robinson's analysis of Trump's tweets using MATLAB, and will occasionally post updates and expanded analysis (when I get around to it). Unfortunately, someone has finally convinced the President to use a secure mobile phone (it took until April 2017) so the source device, which was the prime telltale, is no longer meaningful.

Kunya Generator

Mironova and Alhamand wrote an interesting article to Foreign Affairs explaining the absurd "logic" behind the choices of noms du guerre, or "kunya" used by jihadi in the Syrian civil war. My friend and I decided to greate a simple Python web app to randomly generate a kunya for yourself, which is (currently) running online. Try it for yourself!

MakerSpace Projects

I've been playing around with some equipment in the NYU Tandon MakerSpace and will be sharing some things here (eventually).
