Interests

Apart from being a researcher, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy mountain biking, free climbing, and trekking.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the field of climate science.
