Thoughts on ultrafast physics, career transitions, and building things that work
I write about the intersection of fundamental physics, emerging technology, and career development. I'm actively working through this as a postdoctoral researcher transitioning to industry roles in data science and technical project management.

I have completed three half-marathons and am currently training for the fourth. Long-distance running demands the same kind of sustained effort and mental discipline that experimental research requires.
Whether reassembling a complex vacuum system over several weeks, iterating on automation code until it runs reliably, or pushing through the final kilometers of a long run, the approach is similar. Break the challenge into manageable steps, stay focused, and keep moving forward even when progress feels slow.
This mindset, built through both running and years in the lab, helps me tackle technical problems with patience and determination.
