About

This is my personal website. Mostly I go by bradrn, though where that’s unavailable I’m brdrcn instead. (But I stay off most social media platforms in any case.) I am currently a PhD student in Scotland, studying physics; but my interests are much wider, incuding programming, linguistics, mathematics, chemistry, music and literature. This site is a place for me to share my (very) occasional thoughts.

The site logo is the English word script transliterated into the Javanese script (aksara Jawa), as ꦱꦼꦏꦿꦶꦥ꧀ (in Latin transcription sekrip). It is typeset in the font ‘Bakul’, by Aditya Baya Perdana (Bēhance, download link). The term script is used prominently in both linguistics and programming; furthermore, I have long admired the aesthetic of Javanese script, one of the closest indigenous scripts to where I grew up. (And, of course, its substring ‘Java’ is known from programming too…)

(Oh, and this website is 100% AI-free.)
