Christianity and related topics:

My arguments for being Christian are discussed here: "Why Christianity? Answer in 3 amazing parallels!"


The main arguments in the linked text above are some surprising parallels (bijections) in the Bible!
Since I like bijections (see my Research page), I decided to create a small gallery of Biblical bijections.
Click on each of the images above to see a Biblical parallel witnessing authenticity!

Sports:

I enjoy practicing and competing in various sports on a non-professional level!


I won 4 intramural tournaments in 4 different sports during my first two years in the PhD program (2015, 2016).
The sports are soccer 5vs5, volleyball 4vs4, badminton singles and tennis doubles [pictures in this order].
Since 2021, I started to train for competitions in an amazing individual sport called Racketlon!
