About
Hi, I’m Constantin.
I’m a seeker of knowledge, builder of things, and connector of humans.
I finished my MD at MUW, with some excursions to Berkeley and Harvard. Currently, I’m working on 1) accelerating science with AI and robots and 2) age reversal via partial reprogramming. You can reach me by email.
previously
- I skipped a grade and finished high school a year early.
- Built, failed, and had my first micro exit at 17.
- Did research stays in immunology, AI, public health, aging and regeneration, and complexity science.
- Built a hacker house incubator and a research nonprofit.
- Taught myself AI, biotech, and most of what I know today.
The longer version: selected work and the path so far.
things I’m into
scientific superintelligence and lab automation, origins of consciousness, solving death, mind uploading, curating world talents, (human) recursive self improvement
now
Based in Vienna. Soon Boston and SF.
Next trip: Helsinki, at FR8, September–.
Soon: Gladyshev Lab, Harvard.
Like this website, I’m always a work in progress. I get a little better every day because of the people around me. I’m grateful to VG, FZ, SH, MS, PW, MC, SPC, IF, TF, VG, ADY, AS, LM, MO, TS, LP, and many more.
Thank you for raising my ambitions, and for reaching for them with me.
Ad astra ✨
