What I do
MATH
What kind of math do I do? I took math, physics, and chemistry during my bachelor’s degree. My master’s thesis was on inverse problems, in particular modeling electroporation.
I did my Ph.D. in the field of polynomial optimization.
CODE
Writing math on paper and LaTeX is fine and dandy, but sometimes you must run your ideas through the computer to see if they hold up.
Hence, I have accrued coding skills to put math into practice, thereby gaining insights and results.
COMMUNICATE
Without communication, my efforts are wasted. Code rots if not used and maintained, and mathematics gathers dust if not applied or extended.
I am still figuring out how best to share my ideas and work, but hopefully, this website is a step in the right direction.
