First-generation cognitive cyberware for education, medicine, and art

I'm Grisha — a researcher at Chiba Institute of Technology who builds things at the intersection of simulation, biology, and interactive art. Below is an unfiltered stream of whatever I'm thinking about and working on.

Fault Tolerance Exhibition

An exhibition exploring failures in software, hardware and wetware.

Designing Immune Receptors

The surfaces of white blood cells are covered in receptors that act as three-dimensional puzzle pieces that only match proteins that are not native to the body.

Brutalism and Pencil Shaders

An experiment in pencil shaders in brutalist environments in Unity.

Exploring High-dimensional Point Clouds

An app to explore high-dimensional point clouds.

Interactive Dynamical Systems

Using interactive features in Julia and WebGL to explore qualitative behaviours in dynamical systems.
