Hei! This is my personal page, where I want to try to put everything I might want to share, as well as some information about my work. In addition to physics, I enjoy reading, baking, and recently making simple personal websites.

I’m a physicist working to discover “dark matter”– a hypothetical particle that could make up the mass needed for galaxies and stars to behave as they do. My job is to analyse and model the data taken by the LZ and TESSERACT at the University of Zürich. I also work on projecting the future performance of the XLZD detector.

Regnestav!

Dette er en kopi av et lite skriv på bluesky om hvordan en regnestav fungerer– for mere detaljer er wiki Denne regnestaven var bestefars når han studerte som ingeniør, og jeg vil først si hvor flotte ting de er– fine skarpe merker, malingen er på et vis gravert eller sunket inn i belegget slik at de ikke kan skrapes vekk. Laget for å brukes effektivt, og for å vare. × Hovedfunksjonen til en regnestav er å gjøre ganging og deling raskt og effektivt– ved hjelp av litt matte-magi som heter ✨logaritmer✨ Read more...
