This August, the International Conference of Physics Students (ICPS) – the flagship event of the International Association of Physics Students (IAPS) – was held in Rabat, Morocco 🇲🇦. For the first time in its history, ICPS took place on the African continent, bringing together 200+ physics students from 30+ countries. A few personal highlights: • Presenting my research on superconducting transmon qubits at elevated frequencies. Raising the qubit frequency suppresses therma

Within the last year I had the opportunity to participate in the South-African-German Wilhelm und Else Heraeus Seminar “Nonlinear Dynamics and Anomalous Transport in Low Dimension” in Cape Town (South Africa 🇿🇦) organized by Prof. Dr. Roderich Moessner (MPI-PKS Dresden) and Prof. Dr. Haris Skokos (University of Cape Town). Being the youngest participant and the only international Master's student besides several national bachelor and master students from the University of C

This post probably comes unexpected as my primary focus on this blog has always been my academic journey in physics. However, looking back at the last 12 months, there are also some other highlights. One of which I want to share here: Besides my studies, I am working as Event Logistics Manager, which is a nice counterpart to my studies. This profession took me to Riyadh (Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦). Some details regarding my work: • The main objective was overseeing the logistics of a

Once again I participated at the APS Global Physics Summit, this year in Denver (Colorado 🇺🇸), supporting the staff as APS Student Ambassador. Some clear highlights of the Global Physics Summit 2026 were for me personally: • Presenting my recently started master thesis about superconducting qubits at elevated frequencies during the APS poster session. • Giving an APS-internal invited talk together with my German Ambassador Colleagues Cyrus Walther , Mario Gaimann , Ja

For two months, I had the opportunity to join QuantumDiamonds , contributing to the development of next-generation testing tools to push the boundaries of semiconductor failure analysis. For this we are using magnetic quantum sensing based on defects in diamond lattices, effectively imaging the current density in samples. Being a hardware lab intern for two months, I have learned the experimental realization of a Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) based quantum sensing setup, especially

I am very happy to announce that I won my first poster-prize at the WE-Heraeus-Seminar “Optics and its Applications in Quantum Technologies” (Armenia 🇦🇲) for the best poster presentation (in the category master students & PhDs) together with Mane Vardanyan. My poster presented the work from my internship at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) , where I contributed to the realization of a photonic quantum memory based on an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) prot

This summer I had the opportunity to attend the WE-Heraeus and NARIT Summer School on Astrophysics in Chiang Mai (Thailand 🇹🇭) and present my work at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Quantum Technologies (IQT), where I contributed to the realization of a photonic quantum memory based on an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) protocol in a Rubidium magneto-optical trap as part of an internship this year. The project specifically aims to miniaturize

This week 100 years of quantum sciences were celebrated as part of the Bavarian Quantum Day. For this occasion, representatives of my study program “Quantum Science and Technology”, a joint master program of the Technical University of Munich and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) were invited by the Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder and the Bavarian State Minister of Science and the Art Markus Blume to join
