hello, this is tunç. - /tunʧ/ - and maybe "toonch".
PhD student in numerical cosmology (2022–2026) at UFES, Brasil.
i am somewhere between gravitational lensing, statistics, and too many bash commands. some of that chaos was published here. the rest is an ongoing attempt to understand things that seem to resist being understood.
most days are spent trying to figure out some statistical concept, installing another "beautiful" python package, or fighting with the math in a paper. progress is not linear. when it feels linear, something is probably off. most of it feels like debugging reality.
so here is not a portfolio. it is more of a digital collection of my life, experiences, thoughts, projects. that being said, I wrote something longer about myself, closer to how i think, here. pascal once wrote: "Je n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.I made this longer (letter) because I did not have free time to make it shorter." i agree. more or less.
this site is a mix of things i care about. no guarantee you will.

above sections may include things i do or do not enjoy. below is where i
try to optimize my pleasure.
what i read, watch, listen, eat, and do.
not a bookworm. wish i was.
these three books changed my life.
btw many thanks to neslihan serap şengör who introduced this book in her lecture Circuit and System Analysis.
okay. this is not cinephilia.
it’s about finding something worth spending 2–3 hours on.
below is my kind of top 3. it’s hard, right?
they say that mozart once said
"Ich möchte alles haben was gut, ächt und schöne ist!"
I would like to have everything that is good, genuine, and
beautiful!
I understand him
sometimes. with a translator. yes. sometimes.
sometimes i go places and write about them.
This one in particular was an uppercut to my ego and social anxiety.
