Hobbies

Science isn't everything. After hours, I try not to drown in plots, simulations, and CSV files. That’s when I reach for a camera, a good book, or headphones β€” or simply disappear into the woods (no Wi-Fi, but ISO 100).

Photography

Photography is my way of pausing the world β€” especially the parts hidden in infrared or ultraviolet light. I mostly shoot cats, the urban structure of chaos, and anything that looks weird in IR. Occasionally, I work with models too.
🐾 My camera has seen more cats than humans. And it's totally fine with that.

Books

I mostly read works balancing between science, philosophy, and futurism β€” from classic sci-fi, epic fantasy, slashers, horror, and sword & sorcery to modern essays about civilization and knowledge. Comics, too.

Currently reading: "Wind and Truth" – Brandon Sanderson, and I still can't tell if it’s brilliant or just way over my head.

Music

Mostly rock β€” from the classics, through metal, to post-grunge. Sometimes heavy, sometimes melancholic, but always with a guitar. Three Days Grace holds a special place in my heart (and playlist) β€” for every time of day and mood.

Outdoor activities

Not a big fan of physical challenges β€” I’m more into down-to-earth stuff. Literally. Gardening is my way of resetting: digging, planting, trimming, waging war on weeds. It’s also a kind of experiment β€” only with photosynthesis instead of radiation.
