Well, my thesis is finally wrapping up, which means that I’m now able to start posting about it. I had originally planned to upload my work to my website section-by-section as I wrote it, but it turns out that I ended up rewriting and revising sections nearly constantly - perhaps whenever some new piece of information came to light, or when I found a better graphic than one I had used previously. I anticipate to stop working on my thesis after my defense on May 10th; until then, these talks that I gave should be reasonably set in stone.

Below is the presentation I gave at the Plan II Thesis Symposium in April 2021. There was a 15-minute time limit here, so I rushed through my (many) slides rather quickly, though I was more rehearsed:

I also re-recorded the talk afterwards at a more leisurely pace. The content is virtually identical, though there’s no Q&A session in this version:
