When the complexities of the 3.5 PN Lagrangian planetary equations become overwhelming, I love to go for a run! I’m passionate about long-distance running and have competed in the Paris Marathon in 2023, the Copenhagen Marathon in 2024, and the Helsinki Marathon in 2025. I never forget to pack my running shoes for every conference :)
Here's my strava

Another reason I love running is that it balances my other passion: baking, especially sweet treats. If academia doesn’t work out, I already have a backup plan—I’ll open a bakery!

I was born and raised surrounded by mountains, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. Naturally, I love hiking and climbing—though I stick to via ferrata rather than real rock climbing.
