As a PhD student at Empa in St. Gallen, I explore topics from proteomics and nanomedicine to hydrogels and in vitro models. I think a lot of different people are interested in scientific topics and the Pint of Science gives us an opportunity to share our favorite topics with everyone!

MSc in Toxicology. Currently, doctoral student in nanomedicine at EMPA, St. Gallen. I love sports, exploring nature and raising environmental awareness. PoS is a great festival to share scientific achievements and breakthroughs, and to diminish the existing gap between science and general public!

I am a postdoctoral researcher in plasma physics & chemistry at Empa in St. Gallen. Environmental challenges are the main motivation of my research. I also love to read a good book, a nice conversation with people and sports. I find science communication important to make our ideas real.
