I'm a Research Associate at the University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (Helmut Schmidt Universität- Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg) in Hamburg, Germany, researching the application of photonics in sensors, defense, space, and communications. Currently, my research is focused on optical metrology especially using laser interferometry for high-precision optical sensors, industrial manufacturing, and military applications. Other research areas include high-capacity optical communications and networks (also known as space division multiplexing). I'm also affiliated with the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), PIER Helmholtz Graduate School, and the Max Planck Institute.
As humans, we are deeply emotional beings. Emotions are not just part of who we are—they prove that we are alive, connected, and aware. Unless we are completely detached or suffering from psychopathy (a condition characterized by the inability to feel empathy or remorse), emotions are integral to our human experience. Throughout life, we encounter […]

This is a continuation of the maxims of a Stoic. You can read it here. To remind myself to see things as they are. When eating meat, tell yourself that you are eating a dead cow; when eating fish, remind yourself that you are eating a dead fish. Having sex? An act that leads to […]
Take a deep breath. Now imagine watching your interesting show at a movie theater or at your comfort at home. Several minutes or hours later, the show ends. Similar to the TV show, our lives will have to come to an end. Unlike the TV show, the end time of our life is not known; […]
These are the insights i gathered, visualized and wrote as i practice stoicism. The insights are synonymous to Marcus Aurelius Meditations’ as a reminder on how to stay on path with Stoicism. In 100 years, you will be dead and forgotten. Those who remember you will be dead too. Like the dust in Sahara desert […]
On 4th October 2021, I defended my thesis titled “Interplay of modal dispersion and nonlinear interference in fiber optic fiber systems” finishing my masters studies at the University of Parma. You can read my thesis here. I’m grateful for the mentorship and learning from both Prof. Paolo Serena and Dr. Ing Chiara Lasagni. It was […]
Just outside the Capitoline hill in Rome, visitors and tourists from different corners of the world gather to take a picture of a man riding a horse probably to show their friends and relatives the fabulous medieval works of the Roman Empire and some not knowing how influential Marco Aurelio-as pronounced in Italian -has been […]
It is quite hot here in Southern Denmark this August compared to last year when it was colder. The warm temperature is keeping me indoors reading Carl Newport’s Digital Minimalism. It is an excellent booking advising on ways to minimize your attention from chaotic world of internet, applications to traditional ways of consuming your attention. […]
