I’m passionate about both sports and ideas, whether it’s playing tennis or watching anime with friends, diving into cybersecurity challenges, or exploring big philosophical questions. I find energy in sports, curiosity, and good company. I’ve always dreamed of going to America, inspired by the movies I grew up with.

My research sits at the intersection of Computer Graphics and Machine Learning, with a focus on developing optimized solutions for realistic and highly performant physics-based simulations.
