Computational physics on desktops and laptops
My work involves a lot of computer calculations. By and large, there are three different types of such computations: Specifically for the recent project concerning tropical field theory, I wrote several programs that compute various of the series expansions in that theory. In the process of developing one of them, I got interested in figuring…

Thermal camera
It is widely known that physicists like thermal cameras. As more and more people have been asking whether I have become a mathematician, I knew it was now or never. I got myself a model that uses a phone app as a screen and user interface. It has its own battery and is connected over…

Frost in Oxford
I had long assumed that Oxford has essentially two distinct weather conditions: either it is raining, or there is fog. However, it recently turned out that there is a third: Frost. Namely, when there would normally be fog, but the temperatures are blow zero, the humidity turns into beautiful ice crystals on all surfaces. This…
