I am Luka Rekhviashvili, a senior at the Guivy Zaldastanishvili American Academy and an incoming student at Grinnell College. Having programmed since I was nine, I've naturally gravitated toward studying complex systems and building new technologies. Academically, I like to blend computer engineering with the philosophy of technology. I often look to thinkers like Descartes and Kant, as well as concepts like E.F. Schumacher’s "Intermediate Technology," to better understand how modern systems impact human autonomy.
My core research sits at the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and human-computer interaction. I recently co-founded Amtavla, a project focused on decoding silent speech from EMG signals using AI and medical-grade hardware. Beyond this sub-vocal recognition research, I’ve co-authored published work on human-steered evolutionary computation and am currently building a digital library to scrape and archive 18th-century regional transcripts.
When I am not focused on research, I try to maintain a strong balance between physical and artistic disciplines. I compete locally as a Judo blue belt (2nd Kyu), practice classical piano—with a focus on Bach and Chopin—and spend my downtime exploring viticulture, history, and linguistics.
