2010 BSc in Natural Sciences, Physics, University of Latvia, Latvia
2012 MSc in Natural Sciences, Physics, Umeå University, Sweden
2017 PhD in Mechanical Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden

Research and Professional Activities

My main research interests are numerical physics with applications in fluid mechanics and electromagnetism. In my spare time I also follow development of fundamental physics - theories of gravity, quantum physics and standard model.
