🌱 A Gentle Beginning: On Curiosity, Research, and the Need to Create
Welcome — and thank you for stopping by.
If you've landed here, you’re likely curious about the person behind this website, or maybe the ideas that shape the work I do. Either way — I’m glad you're here.
This blog begins not with an agenda or announcement, but with a quiet intent: to create a space where thoughts can breathe, where research becomes conversation, and where the layers of engineering, AI, and curiosity are allowed to unfold naturally.
🧭 A Path Carved by Questions
Over the past few years, I’ve found myself drawn to questions that sit at the edges of disciplines — How can buildings respond intelligently to the people inside them? What happens when machine learning meets the physical laws of thermodynamics? Can decision-making systems respect both logic and nuance?
My work, so far, has lived at the crossroads of AI (Evolutionary Algorithms), control theory, and energy systems — a space where simulation meets intuition. I’ve spent long hours developing frameworks that integrate modeling tools with learning algorithms, not because they’re trendy, but because they help us see systems more clearly — and perhaps, manage them more wisely.
🧩 On Being an Engineer (and a Researcher)
Titles come and go, but some remain — along with the drive to build something that matters. Whether that’s a new co-simulation framework, a control model, or even a small idea written here — I’ve come to value the quiet work behind the scenes just as much as the polished results.
Research has a way of humbling you. The more you learn, the more aware you become of what remains unknown. And somewhere in that tension — between certainty and wonder — is where I like to dwell.
🌿 Why Write?
Not everything needs a reason. Sometimes you write because you want to remember. Sometimes, because something felt important and you didn’t want to let it slip by. And sometimes, because you believe that even one good idea — shared simply — can spark something in someone else.
So this is where I start. With a few thoughts. And perhaps, over time, more will follow — not in a rush, but as they come.
Thank you for reading.
