I’m a researcher working on materials characterization, microscopy, and scientific computing. I like building tools that make hard experiments easier to understand — and writing up how they work.

I’m also into computer vision (especially image registration), statistics, GPU computing, and making simulations you can actually poke at in a browser.

Browser-native dynamical master-pattern synthesis (WebGPU). Load a CIF, tune beam conditions, export results — nothing leaves your machine.
