South-African-German Wilhelm und Else Heraeus Seminar “Nonlinear Dynamics and Anomalous Transport in Low Dimension” - Cape Town

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 Cape Town, was one of the most valuable aspects of the experience, as it allowed me to gain a wide range of insights into PhD life and my future academic career. I am particularly grateful for the trust the selection committee placed in me and the potential they saw.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to my bachelor thesis supervisor Prof. Dr. Lauriane Chomaz for allowing me to present the work of my former research group in the form of a flash talk and poster within this seminar. It is amazing to see what progress my former group has made over the last months and years and explain this versatile experimental platform to physicists from all over the globe!

Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation for their generous financial support of my participation in this binational South African German seminar by covering the hotel and catering costs.

Being an early career researcher, gaining such insights into higher academic exchange is scientifically very challenging but at the same time incredibly valuable by gaining first hand insights into the current state of the art of various scientific areas and meeting inspiring people that give you valuable advice, being far more advanced in their careers.
