Hi there, my name is

Mika Riesterer.

About me

Hi! I am Mika. I am currently studying Mathematics and Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

I am particularly drawn to unsolved problems, as well as challenges where mathematical theories, chemical models, and programming concepts converge. Developing simulations, visualizing abstract relationships, and solving complex problems is really fun to me.

Alongside my academic studies, I want to build more web applications and even create my own operating system. On GitHub, you can find my open-source projects centered on physical computations, mathematical animations, programming courses and a lot more.

I also have a strong passion for tutoring, where I always try to break down complex mathematical and scientific concepts into simple, intuitive explanations. As part of this, I had the opportunity to mentor a group of Indian students at the 2024 Beamline for Schools (BL4S) CERN competition.

Mathematics

Number theory, prime numbers, computer algebra and physics as a minor subject

Chemistry

Future Sandbox

This sandbox serves as a preview of my plans to build interactive, web-based mathematical and physical simulations. Below is a real-time 3D projection of a chaotic Lorenz Attractor. You can adjust the parameters using the sliders below to explore mathematical chaos theory.

Parameter Guide

  • Sigma (σ): Fluid viscosity / Prandtl number. Controls how rapidly convection currents react to temperature changes.
  • Rho (ρ): Heat convection drive / Rayleigh number. Values above 24.74 trigger chaotic convection (forming the "butterfly wings").
  • Beta (β): Dimension ratio. Relates to the aspect ratio of the convection rolls, controlling dampening along the vertical axis.
