November 2024

How did you learn about the UFZ?

I have several friends here who are also doing their PHD study; also UFZ has some cooperation with universities in my country.

Why did you come to the UFZ?

I love the academic vibe here and can meet elites in my research field here.

What do you like about the city you live in?

I really love the historical buildings and churches here. As for me, walking and cycling along streets in Leipzig can be a refresher for me which could not be better better;)

How do you like it at the UFZ / in HIGRADE?

HIGRADE is a really great and professional team and I am glad that we have the HIGRADE team supporting us all the time; everything (like sources and courses here) is abundant and professional. Thank you so much;)!
