2020-01-25 Happy new decade!

It’s been a while since the last post and for me it was a time of big changes. After having received my PhD, I moved from Leipzig to Helsinki to work as a postdoc at the university here. Of course the relocation, getting used to a new country and starting a new job meant a lot of work and effort, which is why I was too busy to update this site for a while. But everything went more than fine and I’m doing well here up north. As for the site, I have a lot of notes and unfinished articles lying around, so now that I’ve settled in the new place, I might share Linux tips more often. Well, I’m not promising anything, we’ll see.

2019-09-04 PhD thesis defended successfully

Last month I had my PhD defense at the University of Leipzig and I obtained my PhD title with magna cum laude. In near future, I will be probably moving to another university and widening my research interests, as I am no longer bound to a single, focused long-term goal. If you are interested in my thesis, you can download it here and the code is available on Gitlab.

2019-05-15 Site design finished

I’ve been quite busy since the last post, but yesterday and today I finally found time to finish the site. With the nice index of posts by year and by tag on the right (made with jekyll-archive), it is now more or less complete. There is still some content missing on the “Books” and “Software” pages, but I will fill it incrementally. I also already have multiple posts in preparation - I prefer to work on them in parallel, rather than post them one by one. So, real content is going to appear here very soon!

2019-03-29 Hello world!

This is the first post on this website. I used Jekyll to create it and I must say that I’m quite impressed!
