Profile

Professional summary.

Radin Sayyed Rassouli is a theoretical physics graduate with a strong first-principles and hands-on approach. His work combines mathematical modelling, numerical methods, scientific software, uncertainty analysis, and practical prototyping.

Across study and projects, he has moved between alternative gravity and cosmology, black-hole dynamics, Monte Carlo photon transport, forecasting, AI-assisted automation, CAD, and embedded hardware builds. He is comfortable taking a problem from equations and assumptions to code, documentation, and communication.

Education

Academic path.

Approach

How I work.

My preferred way of working is to break complex systems into essential components, model them quantitatively, and test the outcome against data, simulation, or engineering constraints. Differential equations, numerical methods, optimisation, and dimensional reasoning are central tools in that process.

I also put strong weight on documentation and communication. Reports, diagrams, equations, presentations, and reusable tools are part of the work, not an afterthought.
