Biography

Hi! I’m a postdoctoral researcher at Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER), seconded to the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching b. München, Germany.

Focused on problem-solving, research and optimization, I’m passionate about numerical computation, optimization, data analysis.

I have experience in design, implementation and management of complex systems, particularly in experimental physics, with emphasis on laser-aided diagnostics in plasma physics, VIS/NIR spectroscopy, and microwave diagnostics. I’m also skilled several programming languages, statistical data analysis, data acquisition and control systems, electronics.
