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.

Projects (GitHub)
lemOS
An experimental operating system (Operating System) designed for future quantum computers. Developed in Rust to emulate qubit state spaces, superposition transformations, and quantum circuit execution gates. This is my flagship development project, bridging low-level system design with quantum physics.
View GitHubRaspberry Pi Infrastructure
Home server infrastructure configurations for Raspberry Pi. Features secure VPN routing, automated network-wide ad-blocking (Pi-hole), DNS over HTTPS, and local cloud file hosting.
View GitHubhow-to-python
An educational repository created for students and beginners looking for hands-on Python experience. Serves as a guide containing basic scripts, variables, data structures, and progressive programming tasks with direct execution guides.
View GitHubFuture 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.
