Anyone is welcome to write to me, regardless of personal background, career stage or age. I am happy to connect, chat and exchange ideas about engineering, research, open source software or anything else we may find interesting. I am also open to work opportunities, research collaborations and open source contributions.
My work focuses on chemical process simulation, thermodynamics and energy systems, including waste heat and cryogenic energy recovery. Further areas of focus include CFD and multiphysics simulation, scientific computing and thermodynamics-informed machine learning.
