The best way to know whether you've understood something is when you can explain it.
I've much enjoyed gaining first experience in presenting my work as a physics student to technical audiences by...

... representing the startup QuEra at the New Frontiers in Quantum & ML workshop at Perimeter (November 2022) --> talk recording
... presenting two posters at the Physics meets AI summer school at LMU in Munich (September 2022) --> poster abstracts
... pitching the open-source platform Bloqade at the Canadian Graduate Quantum Conference (CGQC) in January next year!

I've also had a lot of fun explaining science, math and computing to broader audiences by...

... interviewing Prof. Lavinia Heisenberg on gravity and the astronaut-dream for the magazine Sterne & Weltraum,
... or writing goofy blog posts (Part 1, Part 3) on Category Theory as part of the ACT Adjoint School 2021.

I am a strong believer in achieving goals together. More broadly, I see life as a communal process of creating. That perspective makes me happy, at the very least. Hence, my main goal in life is to bring people together around shared values that emerge from and change through conversation. So far, my efforts in this respect have been centered mostly around the theme of climate change.

Here is a summary of previous projects during my undergrad at ETH, Zurich:

• During my first semesters, I became increasingly involved in the Student Sustainability Commission. There, my work focused on creating a community to bundle the motivation of individual students from all disciplines.
• Similarly, I asked the more specific question of "How can physicists contribute to solving the climate crisis?". To generate discussion in our own physics department, I organized the Sustainability Week @DPHYS 2021 and launched an interview series.
• I also discussed in depth how to achieve a net-zero university with staff from all corners of ETH - the finance and infrastructure department, ETH Foresight and the ETH Air Travel Project, professors working on carbon capture... These discussions converged in my final semester in spring 2021, when we wrote the internal white paper ETH NettoNull for the Executive Board. First steps towards its implementation are being made. (Personally, I hope the board will be more bold in coming months)
• Before graduating from ETH, I wanted to pass this conviction on to future students. Hence, I pulled together The EarTH Magazine - Edition Cooperation. Stories of teamwork, compiled from all levels of ETH.
  
  A lesson I learnt overall: Culture eats strategy for breakfast. (Peter Drucker)

Now, I am building on these experiences at my current home at Perimeter Institute, Canada. Together with researchers and admin, I am initiating a climate action working group. Our aim is to generate an internal culture of "every job is a climate job", even when you´re working at a theoretical physics institute.

A provoking book, a stirring conversation. Thoughts to rework and forge into a new bundle, to be passed on to the next curious mind!
So far, I have enjoyed this exchange mostly by curating a couple of editions of VAMP - the magazine of physics and math students at ETH in Zurich. Here's a collection:

• Brave New EarTH
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the ETH
• KUNTERBUNT

Let's see what I come up with next! :D
