The animation on the right shows one of the most fascinating effects I’ve studied: gravitational lensing, where massive objects warp spacetime and deflect light like a cosmic magnifying glass.
Beyond my academic work, I have a strong passion for programming — from software development and automation to data analysis and creative coding — and I enjoy using technology to solve problems and bring ideas to life.
Outside of physics and coding, I enjoy reading—both in general and novels in particular—surfing, playing the piano, and listening to classical music. I have a passion for analog photography and practice theater, and I love writing whenever I find the time. Flying ultralight aircraft also fascinates me, and I hope to one day earn a pilot’s license.
