I grew up in Germany, having Polish origin, studied engineering & economics, & nuclear applications with parts abroad. In 2019, I could do an internship at CERN (the place in the film ‘Angels and Demons’ in which black holes are generated) in Switzerland. Currently, I am doing a PhD at the University of Strathclyde.
Before the huge pandemic, I loved to travel & meet people. But now I am mostly sitting at home & playing board games with friends, or go to the gym or pool. I love to sleep long – but stay awake long, too. (;

My Typical Day:
I wake up and make myself ready to go to work. Sometimes I go to the gym/pool before I go to university. Mostly I start around 9am, where I do either experiments or write reports; in between chatting with colleagues. At some point I have lunch with friends & then go back to work. I go home at 5pm and relax at home.
