The most photogenic photo ever taken of me, which I will continue to use until hoary old age (thanks Doreen!).
Non-Mathematical Interests
I’m fascinated by linguistics and the history of language. I also love learning languages. I speak / am studying:
> English (Natively)
> Modern Hebrew (Fluently)
> Spanish (Proficient)
> Catalan (Proficient)
> French (Conversational, but rusty)
> Yiddish (Intermediate, in progress)
> Mandarin (HSK3+, in progress)
> Russian (Elementary, and rusty)
I also have experience reading old Jewish languages, like Biblical Hebrew and Judeo-Aramaic.
I am also deeply interested in the history of food, as well as its preparation and eating. A few favorites:
Khachapuri Adjaruli 
Mole Manchamanteles 
Homemade Ravioli 
Egg-Cream Buns 
Tapas 
Genghis-Khan 
Kolo Mee 
Penang Laksa 
Cendol 
Dashi Soba
