About
I’m a molecular physicist at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan in the Quantum Photo-Science Laboratory researching interactions between molecules and confined light at femtosecond and picosecond time scales with ultrafast lasers.
This website is my home on the internet, because websites are back! (now that the internet as we know it is broken and social media is... not really what we wanted it to be, is it?)
The social web is a bit of a mess right now, but I'm @GarrekStemo most places.
Site and tools
RSS feed for posts.All of the CSS and HTML—layout, font choices, colors—on this site are my own design. Simple, fast, and a careful selection of shades of blue.
Great software is underappreciated. Here are some of my favorites:- Affinity Designer for most of my graphics needs
- Makie for making plots in Julia
- Things for task management
- Keynote for presentations
- Ulysses for drafting in Markdown
- Pages for writing (super underrated)
- Texifier for writing LaTeX on macOS, iPadOS, and iOS
- Zotero by far the best reference management software out there
