About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To survive in academia and entrepreneurship, experimenting with the basic principles of human behavior from the viewpoint of both social and natural sciences. In the meantime, I fix people's teeth.

ABOUT ME

I'm an all-round academic with training as a physicist and dentist, always busy making plans I don't know the outcome of. I travel to unwind and meet people who might offer new perspectives on things.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge and don't waste food. Everything is an experiment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met the coolest and most generous people while surfing and I hope to provide my own guests with the same experience by being a good host.

Interests

Science, music, art and random stuff. I also practice a variety of sports (tennis, squash, running, bouldering, swimming, gym) but somehow I can never seem to just keep doing one thing regularly.

Music, Movies, and Books

Frankenstein, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Feynman, Star Wars, Arcade Fire, to name a few big ones that I like. Also very much into Attack on Titan lately. I am often unaware of a lot of cool things that are going on in the world. So always open to hear/see/read something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Counted blips of cosmic rays that travel through the universe and end up in a giant vat of the purest heavy water excavated inside a Japanese mountain next to a big-ass laser.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I can teach people about quantum physics, but I've never really tried. I can also tell you why it is really important that you floss everyday and why you will forget about it anyway.

Would love to learn making any kind of food/dish that you can teach me.
