Engagements

In this page, you can find my engagement in various formats, such as presentations, workshops, conferences, podcasts, and other outreach activities beyond formal research outputs.

Podcast

Kuberknots | Voyage into Cybernetics↗

I am hosting a podcast exploring complexity, cybernetics, technology, and the ideas that connect research with broader cultural and public questions. Through conversations with guests from diverse backgrounds, I aim to unpack the technical and philosophical dimensions of these fields in plain language and make them accessible beyond disciplinary boundaries.
