Tilt is a PhD candidate (biochemistry) at the University of Toronto and holds a previous degree in health sciences. His research is in protein-protein interaction profiling by proteomics, applying these techniques to study how membrane-bound organelles within cells interact with each other to exchange metabolites.

Beyond the university, Tilt believes in practical transhumanism and the achievement of freedom of form by means of biotechnology. Driven by his own experience with nonhuman identity, he is passionate about the right to self-expression and is dedicated to bringing this to the real world.
