Hi, I'm Trang!

I'm interested in how powerful ideas shape attention—and how we can design better containers for thought.

Language designers shape public consciousness. Programming language designers build abstractions that make new ideas thinkable. I study both: how attention moves, and how we extend what's possible to think.

What's on my mind?

Whether I'm tracking how a meme mutates across Twitter or designing a DSL, I'm asking the same question: what shapes the boundary of thinkable thought?

Follow me on Mathstodon for updates on my independent research in hyperbolic embeddings.
