Nico Courts



Nico is a fifth-year math PhD student. He studies representation theory—essentially the theory of how things combine and break apart to create new things. When he's not doing math he loves playing video games (Return of the Obra Dinn is a new favorite), hiking, coding, and watching movies. He loves metacognition (thinking about thinking) and trying to figure out how to simulate intelligent thought in computers.
