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?

I write about mathematical culture: how mathematics is learned, practiced, communicated, and perceived.
