some of my work
Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Control
Implemented and trained reinforcement learning policies for robotic control tasks, focusing on stable learning, reward design, and sim-to-real robustness.
Useful resources
Learning material I've put together — not part of my active project work.
Studying Computational Science (CSE) at ETH Zürich — a student's guide
A practical, honest guide for prospective students: what the Computational Science / Rechnergestützte Wissenschaften bachelor is actually like, the workload, the specialisations, and advice from inside the program.

What is the difference between Flow Matching and Diffusion?
A visual reference deck for modern diffusion / flow-matching image generation: training frameworks (DDPM, Flow Matching), sampling methods (DDPM sampler, DDIM) and architectures (ViT, DiT), with the core equations and how they combine in models like Stable Diffusion, SD3 and Flux.
