Hello John,

This is Nithin Nakka from Prof. Iyer's research group. I hope you still remember me. How are things going with you? I am doing fine. Could you please give me your personal email address?

With regards, Nithin.

Hi Nithin, Great to hear from you! My.full.name@gmail.com (replace with my full name, as found on my page)

Futures studies
I'm glad we got the naming issue worked out and standardized amongst the various futurology pages:


 * Futures studies
 * Outline of futures studies
 * WikiProject Futures studies

 * Yes. I feel broadened by the experience.  Here's to a Wikipedia that represents everyone's views of the future! John b cassel (talk) 16:34, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

What other subject areas are you interested in?
Just curious. The Transhumanist 03:39, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for asking. :-)  I would say that the common thread is "skeptical, structural, systems, formal, and cognitive methods for speculation, specification, and learning in technical areas".  These days I'm doing a lot with developing methods to address the challenges for strategic foresight posed by cognitive biases.


 * The topics that I have been interested in include risk governance, causality (including developmental causal learning), cognitive biases (and institutional methods for self-skepticism), philosophy of statistics, representational issues in computer science (particularly the representation of time and counterfactuals), Design Research Methods (particularly stakeholder discovery), Programming Languages (particularly domain-specific languages), Neural Networks, Cognitive Neuroscience, Parametric Architecture, Architectural and Infrastructure Speculation, Geographic Information Systems, Simulation (particularly online or "in-the-loop" simulation), machine learning (particularly "online" or "streaming" methods), Artificial Intelligence, representational issues in social science and law, closed-loop supply chains, institutional management of early stage technologies, extreme risks, systems and counterfactual history, prediction markets, and novel financial instruments.
