Physics, code,
and the occasional
rabbit hole.
I’m Julia – a computational physicist doing a PhD in nanomagnetism, building GPU-accelerated simulations in Julia, and writing about the Linux workflows and dev tools that actually make research bearable.

WHAT I WORK ON
Three things I spend too much time thinking about.
01 –
Nanomagnetism
Exploring how magnetic materials behave at the nanoscale, where disorder, noise, and frustration produce surprisingly rich physics
02 –
Spin Glass Physics
Simulating assemblies of magnetic nanoparticles that freeze into disordered states. What looks like chaos turns out to be deeply structured.
03 –
GPU Programming
Writing Monte Carlo algorithms in Julia with custom CUDA kernels. When your simulation needs to run a thousand times, speed is not optional.
