I am working on my PhD in physics, but I have many other interests as well, including writing, worldbuilding, gaming and making games. I am also into politics, but as of late it feels more like a bad habit than a hobby.

My passion project is a novel set in a fantasy world that explores mythmaking, religion, and science, and offers a kind of utopian alternative to our own world.
