  Trying to find the answers to the unknown!
  
  One thing I vividly remember from high school is learning about “facts” – e.g. dates in history, how does human body work, how to build spaceship and so on…back in the day I thought we figured everything out, and there is nothing new to discover, just memorise the “facts”.
  
  Now I work at the university and every single of my colleague is looking for solutions to questions which no one has got answers for yet. I find that so exciting, but also a big responsibility!

  I love everything about my job and the way of thinking that it has given me, but most of all I love knowing that once I have my PhD I will be able to work anywhere in the world!

  Discovering new things and making a valuable contribution to the world. I have loved science since I was in high school.
