Tunc Turker

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.
