Hypothesis testing on football players consciously getting yellow cards to get suspendedDo Bundesliga players engineer their 5th yellow card to fall in a home game rather than an away game? Testing the idea with simulation, an analytical model, a t-test, and a Wilcoxon test.Mar 21, 2022Blog

Behavior of blinds: A sketch of scientific practiceRecording exactly when the office blinds close for half a year, fitting a sine function to the lower bound, and treating the whole exercise as a tiny sketch of the scientific method.Feb 27, 2022Blog
Visualizing a 3rd-Order TensorAn interactive C++/Qt/OpenGL viewer that renders a 3rd-order tensor (cube) as a color-coded volumetric grid — reads values from a text file, maps them onto a diverging red/blue colormap, and lets you rotate and peel through layers.Feb 24, 2020Project
Julia Set RendererA real-time C++/SFML/OpenGL renderer for Julia sets — computes the escape-time fractal per pixel in parallel with OpenMP, with the iteration coefficient tied to the mouse position for interactive exploration.Aug 19, 2019Project
