Introduction

I was trained in both applied mathematics and theoretical physics including quantum field theory, statistical field theory and general relativity as well as numerical analysis and nonlinear dynamics. I like to work on problems where both analytical and numerical techniques can be applied advantageously.

Here is my ReserarchGate profile. Here is my ORCID profile.
