About Me.
Hi, I'm Jedidiah Vinzon, but you can call me Jay. I am studying physics at the University of Auckland, and my current research focus is on identifying astronomical transients in images with deep machine learning. I also tutor high school students in physics, mathematics, computer science, religious studies, and English. In my spare time, I write poetry and music for choirs and chambers.
