Brussels
I grew up in Brussels, where sport, mathematics, chemistry, and the Feynman Lectures gave me an early sense that science should be both rigorous and alive.
Quantum physicist building systems for science
I am a theoretical quantum physicist whose work on superconductors pushed me towards a wider question: how should scientists actually think, write, organise, and collaborate?
That question led me beyond thesis work into building systems: QuantaLumin for scientific publishing and organisation, TutorLumin for teaching and mentoring, and LuminOS as the markdown-first operating environment underneath them.

BaseBrussels-born, now working between Kent and the web
Research
My formal work begins in theoretical physics, especially superconductivity and topological systems. The software and companies grew out of that research rather than sitting beside it.
PhD research
My work begins in unconventional superconductors and the microscopic theories needed to explain time-reversal-symmetry breaking in real materials.
Masters thesis
Before that, I worked on non-local correlations and Majorana-based systems, which trained the mathematical and conceptual instincts that still guide my research.
Scientific software
The software work grows directly out of the physics: simulation, publishing, organisation, and operating systems built for scientific thought.
Teaching and mentoring
I mentor and tutor in STEM on TutorLumin, trying to give students more than exam tactics. The aim is a durable thought process they can carry into the rest of their lives.
Beyond the lab
Rugby, boxing, karate, rowing
I spent 13 years in rugby up to the Belgian national division, have coached boxing, run gymnastics classes, and now train in karate.
Rescue diver
I scuba dive around the world and keep returning to the discipline and calm that diving demands.
Making difficult things clear
Whether in research, mentoring, or software, I am interested in turning difficult ideas into systems people can actually use.
Cross-disciplinary ambition
My great-great-uncle Desmond Morris remains a personal example of how one person can think seriously across science, communication, and art.
