Hi there. Just me!

I'm an executive in the sector of building control network technology, with a background in (and a passion for) mathematical physics -- especially:

foundations and theory of theories (no: this is not about the elusive, ultimate unified whatsoever)
continuum thermomechanics
general relativity and cosmology
quantum mechanics and quantum information
stuff.

"The true-devoted pilgrim is not weary to measure kingdoms with his feeble steps." (Shakespeare, Two Gentlemen of Verona, VII)

Love structure, hate calculation.

"Dishonest math never makes for honest physics."
