Über mich
As a theoretical physicist, I have a passion for divining the laws of nature using pure thought—intuited from empirical experiences—and mathematics. My academic journey so far has led me from the study of the quantum nature of black holes to particle physics and dark matter cosmology, esp. the study of the enigmatic hypothetical dark matter candidate, the “axion”, using simulations run on supercomputers. The latter constitutes my PhD thesis, which culminates shortly. Driven by my unquenchable thirst for learning, I have also explored diverse fields beyond my main area of expertise, ranging from robotics, computational chemistry, psychological modelling, machine learning, to even quantitative finance and algorithmic trading. My love for problem-solving and analytical thinking is at the core of my professional identity. I seek new opportunities in academia or industry, where I can apply my mathematical expertise and theoretical acumen to push the boundaries of science and technology.

We study the dynamics of emergent global topological artefacts (network of strings and domain walls) in the axionic vacuum of the early universe before the QCD phase transition, and follow their decay into later stages when the axion’s gravitational self-interaction leads to structure formation and dynamics. We develop numerical tools and models to follow the cosmological history of the axion and try to do a better job than has been done before to compute its properties.
