Short presentation
My passion is to construct pictures of physical phenomena by means of the mathematical tools at my disposal. The theoretical comprehension is partly built on mathematical methods but also includes insights and descriptions that goes beyond the mathematical interpretation. In particular, I am interested in magnetic and spin based phenomena out of equilibrium, where vibrations, external forces, and time plays part for the physics.
