Hello, I’m Blake! :) I am currently a graduate student at MIT AeroAstro, where I research intelligent, autonomous, robotic systems and how we can make them worthy of our trust. This page serves as a central hub for my work, thoughts, and evolving ideas.

This site is also a space for me to experiment, explore, and organize topics that spark my interest. As I gather insights and learn more, I’ll continue to update and refine this archive. Along these lines, I live by this famous quote by George Box:

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.” George Box

Beyond research, I’m driven by a deep curiosity about the world and the universe. I’m pro-humanity and support ideas that advance our collective well-being.

Statement of Values

I am committed to:

  • Conducting honest, rigorous, innovative research that addresses real-world challenges.
  • Supporting open science, ethical inquiry, and meaningful collaboration.
  • Promoting critical thinking and constructive dialogue across disciplines and ideologies.
“I aspire to see and preserve the truth.” Blake T. Edwards
