My research overview

Last updated on Jan 13, 2023 2 min read

As the year begins, I’ve tried to map different aspects of my research, such as interests, skills, projects done and those where I am currently working. Probably this is not of interest of anyone else, but I enjoyed the process of doing it, and also publishing using markmap. It makes it very easy and looks quite nice!

If you read this and are interested to talk to explore potential collaborations, please contact me!
