Hello. After getting my PhD (quantum plasmonics) I moved to industry (artificial intelligence for robotics). It's been a couple of years during which I have done no physics. Lately I'm getting back into it as a hobby. I'm mostly on my own, so I'm registering here to add some social element to that hobby. Even though I'm having enough fun by myself, I never know when I might feel the urge to talk with other physicists! So I might drop in conversations now and then. See you!
