About

Professional physicist. Main research interests: statistical mechanics, liquid state theory, and computational physics. Also interested in physics education research and the history of physics.

Starting from January 24, 2023, I added to my nickname a reminder about how close we are to the catastrophe (see https://thebulletin.org/2023/01/press-release-doomsday-clock-set-at-90-seconds-to-midnight/ )
