I am a PhD candidate in the field of materials science. My topic it 3D-printing of nanocomposites of 2D materials (like graphene) in a ceramic matrix. Already as a child I knew I wanted to become a researcher in STEM. I could never decide between physics, chemistry or engineering but I found the perfect combination of those in materials science. During my studies I was working in different fields, like biomaterials, high entropy alloys and hydrogen storage materials. In the end I found my passion to be for 3D printing so I chose a PhD topic in this area. Now I am not only working with the printers but also develop new materials that have tailored functions according to their composition and structure!

In a video conferencing call...

...I am happy to talk about my research.

...I can show live experiments or equipment, e.g. ceramic 3D printer, freeze casting, Synthesis of 2D nanomaterials, general lab tour

...I am happy to answer questions about university and career-related questions.

...I am happy to moderate a discussion.

...I am happy to speak to others (e.g. to journalists, museums).
