[ˈdæn.jəl ˈkʰw̥ɪ.ɡli]

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Indiana University Bloomington at the Center for Possible Minds. My research is interdisciplinary, and involves aspects of linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. I work on problems of semantics, semiotics (specifically, writing systems), meaning representation, reasoning, and abstraction.

Prior to my work at Indiana, I was a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Linguistics Department, advised by Nicholas Fleisher, in which I specialized in mathematical linguistics, especially in natural language semantics, coincident with natural language processing (NLP), logic, and category theory.

In my undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I was involved in documentation, elicitation, and formatting stories in Menominee, both at the Menominee Reservation and in the lab with Monica Macaulay. I worked with J. Mark Kenoyer on the Indus Valley Script, in which I studied writing as evident on pottery sherds, deomonstrating different sign frequencies relative to other written artifacts. In the physics department, I worked with the late Stephan Westerhoff on the HAWC experiment, a part of WIPAC, in which I worked on various hardware projects, contributed to IceCube-Gen2, and resolved discrepencies in gamma-ray observations across HAWC, MAGIC, VERITAS, and H.E.S.S. observatories.

Outside academia, I am a technical advisor for Obviate AI; additionally, I am contracted with Eruditis as a machine learning scientist.
