sports, traveling and art

Outside of my scientific interests, I am an active and creative person who loves to explore and move. I’m passionate about sports, particularly cross-training, water sports, dancing, running, and boxing, which help me stay focused, disciplined, and energized.
I love to travel and immerse myself in new cultures, always eager to meet people and expand my perspective. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, where I find inspiration through painting and gardening. These hobbies fuel both my creativity and curiosity, traits I bring to my work in research and innovation.
