// Interests

AI & Physics

I research the intersection between physical modeling and data-driven approaches. I apply Machine Learning to solve complex inverse problems in fluid dynamics and multiphase flow.

Programming

Mainly Python for scientific computing and data visualization.

Language Models

Practical applications of LLMs within engineering and scientific domains to optimize technical workflows and assist in complex problem-solving. Previously, I also explored AI safety and alignment through my work on DetoxLM [pdf].

Chess

An amateur player with a deep appreciation for the game's complexity. Also interested in chess programming and engine development. Challenge me on Chess.com or Lichess. Also, try my Blind Chess Terminal app.

Abstract Strategy Games

Beyond chess, I explore the mechanics of games like Tak and Lines of Action (LoA). Check out my simple LoA engine implementation here.

Music & Instruments

Guitar, pedals, synths. Heavy metal, prog rock, and indie rock. Some casual music experiments on SoundCloud.

Pop Cosmology & Astrophysics

Black holes and origins of spacetime. What happens in extreme conditions?

Pop Quantum Physics

What is reality? Superposition, entanglement, non-locality and some non-intuitive interpretations fascinate me.

Math

Seriously, what the...

Electronics

Occasional design and prototyping.

Beer

Tasting, teaching and home brewing. Approx. 100 batches, some prizes and stuff...
