Other Interests

  • Sports: Following the motto Mens sana in corpore sano, I regularly practice several sports, especially Hyrox (my personal favorite at the moment), as well as calisthenics and swimming (my chilhood sports), with the ambition of becoming one day a hybrid athlete. More recently, I have also taken up Swimrun, and I have to say: it is quite magical.
  • Food: Eating is one of my great passions, and fortunately I also love cooking. If you want to make me happy, take me somewhere where the food really tastes good!
  • Cinema: I usually go to the cinema about twice a week to escape from my maths addiction, this is quite efficient. You can find my Letterboxd profile here.
