This, my dear Watson, is somewhere between the ramblings of a madman and subliminal ingeniousness (probably closer to the former…).

A somewhat quick introduction

Now, normally great thinkers of the world would be introduced to their audiences using a flurry of flattering compliments and extravagant praise. As I have yet to join such esteemed company, I will have to introduce myself - perhaps with rather less pomp ✨.

My interests are frustratingly broad, ranging from the “harder” parts of natural science (duh) and computer science and all the way across to the squishy and cuddly social sciences with a particular emphesis on political and societal issues - could I perhaps interest you in a discussion about the merits of social-liberalism? 🤓

Outside of academia I am a keen woodworker, amateur electrician and overall entirely incompetent DIY’er. 🔨💡

If I were any good at my interests, I would be a polymath. I would never assume such a lofty title, and as dictated by the cultural norms of Scandinavia, I take genuine pride in identifying as more of a polymoron.

In a similar vein, I also happen to suffer from a mild allergy towards formality, which the Cambridge Dictionary defines as:

Something that has to be done but has no real importance

I believe this may be caused by a deep-rooted trauma sustained during my formative years in Socialist Paradise¹ (Scandinavia).

For what has now become a majority of my life, I have partaken in recreational programming and I am a keen Pythonista with strong opinions on code formatting, type hinting and good code hygiene. 🐍
