This website is always a work in progress, its appearance and content is provisional and always evolving.

I'm a student of physics at Stellenbosch University and pursing a PhD as part of the quantum nanophotonics group. At the moment, my research interests are quantum simulation and experimental quantum photonics. From 2022 to 2023, I was a research scientist intern at IBM Research in Johannesburg.

Aside from physics, I like computers, philosophy and history (a connoisseur in tsundoku). I also enjoy playing football (right-footed left-back) and skateboarding (goofy stanced). Recently, I go into playing chess as a pastime. My goal is to reach 1500 ELO by the end of next year.

I believe the world is a very malleable place. That is to say, from time to time you can allow yourself to be more delusional about the world. As a corollary to this, I also believe that if you do everything, you will win.
