Lattice QCD · Research software engineer · University of Bonn

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in lattice QCD at the University of Bonn. My background is in theoretical physics, but over the course of my career I found myself more interested in developing the tools that do the physics than the actual physics itself.

Most of my current work revolves around building a new performance-portable, scalable, and general-purpose lattice field theory library for the next generation of simulations and algorithmic developments. If you're curious about the details, check out the projects page for a more technical overview of what I do and how I do it.

Beyond the work

When I'm not coding or doing physics, I love nerding over everything from books, films, music to video games. I can spend hours talking about my love for all things from skyrim to community. I also enjoy photography, and have made occasional attempts at videography. I grew up doing theatre, making short films, and would love to get back into it someday.
