Research in quantum optics and ultracold quantum gases, teaching experience, and the bridge to applied software engineering.
01
My scientific background is in theoretical physics, quantum optics, ultracold quantum gases, and mathematical modeling. Today I connect that experience with professional software engineering: formulate models precisely, question assumptions, explain results clearly, and derive robust technical solutions.

Studies with focus areas in quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, solid-state physics, photonics, analysis, linear algebra, functional analysis, and numerical methods.
03
Good teaching reduces complexity without making it trivial. I aim to make abstract concepts accessible through models, experiments, and concrete tasks. I am especially interested in connecting software engineering, mathematical thinking, and applied examples.
