I'm Yajan, I'm |

I build things before they're supposed to exist.

I'm 19, from Nepal.

I'm currently building computational tools to design recyclable polymers.

Prior to that, I:

  • Published a materials science preprint on a consumer GPU, no lab
  • Built earthquake early warning hardware from $5 sensors
  • Built a working spectrometer from a CD and a smartphone
  • Ran molecular simulations for a cancer team at 17
  • Levitated objects with two transducers and an Arduino

Things I think about:

  • The physics of irreversibility
  • Whether serious work requires institutions
  • Emergence and why it isn't magic
  • The information content of a crystal structure
  • Why most things that could be built never get built

Currently: designing recyclable polymers at the molecular level at Reformix.

Next: making that fast enough to be industrial.
