linguistics & NLP | physics | geography

Maps are models. They present a simplified version of the spherical Earth. In a similar sense, physicists also strive to describe astronomically complex natural phenomena in simple, elegant models. The joy I find in physics stems from the same source where that in geography comes from.

I studied the muon and its atmospheric flux at Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (2013), then went on to pursue a degree in physics, along with math, at the Johns Hopkins University. Some interesting projects at Hopkins include measuring galactic motion (2017) and quantum properties of graphene (2017).
