My guiding principles in life are [rationalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalism) and [humanism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism). I believe in striving to push the boundaries of science as described wonderfully by [Matt Might](https://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures). But this push is matched by the need to innovate for a better future in more tangible way. I am always looking for new avenues to learn and grow in all aspect of life. +I aim to be _competent_ to able to efficiently bring about change, and _considerate_ to know what to change and to work well with others.
