The Art of Understanding
I like building things that make the invisible visible — turning equations into shapes, motion, and meaning. Most of my projects start with a question that won’t leave me alone: What does a black hole really look like? Why do electrons form those shapes? How can color come from temperature?
I build models, simulations, and visualizations that help me — and others — see the physics behind the math. Some are experiments in clarity; others are closer to art. All of them are ways of learning.
Portfolio Section
These are some of the questions I’ve chased — and what they turned into.
Astrophysics
Gravity, Light, and the Edges of Space
Exploring black holes, light bending, and the math that makes the cosmos behave the way it does. These projects turn equations about space and time into things you can actually see.
Teaching Examples
Where Curiosity Clicks
Simulations, analogies, and thought experiments I’ve built to help others see physics and math in new ways — because understanding should be shared.
Quantum Mechanics
From Wave Functions to Worlds
From hydrogen orbitals to wave functions, I build visualizations that reveal how the smallest parts of the universe move, interact, and take shape.
Math Experiments
The Language Behind the Universe
Math is more than numbers — it’s structure, rhythm, and design. These experiments explore how equations create patterns, motion, and meaning.
