My passion for physics led me to pursue a master’s degree and discover the joy of sharing the subject with others. I started a physics podcast, connecting with peers to discuss our experiences in the field. I also learned animation and web development to create visually engaging tools that bring physics concepts to life. Today, I keep this passion alive by tutoring math and physics and building interactive visualizations. My research interests focused on general relativity, differential geometry and quantum gravity.

In this video I go into the mathematics of rendering a 3D Black Hole and explore the algorithm used for my 3D Black Hole raytracing project.
Tutoring
Physics & Mathematics Tutor
I have helped students understand math and physics by breaking down tough concepts and adapting to their learning styles. I enjoy making these subjects clearer and building their confidence along the way. I have helped students at university level, A-level and GCSE.
Cristian is an incredibly patient and professional tutor. I turned to Cristian whenever I needed help whether during my A-levels or Bsc in Engineering.
— Maria P.
Cristian has helped me in refreshing my memory on maths basics before my admission exams. I owe you one!
— Gavin W.
Cristian has tutored me in GCSE mathematics. I always like his style of teaching. I feel much more confident in math now.
