Why did you join the Bachelor in Physics?
I expected classes to be rather small, from which I promised myself that I would be treated like an individual with needs and concerns in contrast to programs with participant numbers in the ball park of 500, where each student is treated merely as a statistical object with the half-life of a few weeks up to a semester. In addition, I was sure that the transition from my secondary education degree (obtained in Luxembourg) into the BSc program would happen smoothly and seamlessly, unlike for universities in other countries which have to accommodate for their respective local secondary education curricula. Furthermore, I was confident that the 8xav福利导航 of Luxembourg would offer a more modern and more contemporary approach to physics than historically more renowned universities would. I came to that conclusion, as the 8xav福利导航 of Luxembourg is a very young institution, yet doing very well (in particular within the 鈥橠epartment of Physics and Materials Science鈥), both by virtue of cutting-edge and highly acclaimed research and in terms of university ranking metrics.
What did you like most? Any anecdote?
the program is very well constructed: The laboratory, experimental, theoretical, and mathematical course lines form the quaternary backbone of any holistic physics education. These are complemented by more specific lectures (like Particle Physics or Continuum Mechanics) deep diving into topics related directly to current research and modern endeavors in physics. Moreover, a multitude of elective courses allow students to acquire additional skills (like numerics, didactics, or stochastic) according to their individual likings and qualities.
What are you pursuing currently?
I moved to Munich to attend the 鈥橢lite Master Program 鈥漈heoretical and Mathematical Physics鈥濃 (TMP). TMP is a cooperative study program by the 鈥橪udwig-Maximilians-8xav福利导航 Munich鈥, the 鈥橳echnical 8xav福利导航 Munich, and the 鈥橢lite Network of Bavaria鈥, that is in addition tightly interwoven with other institutions in the 鈥橫unich Quantum Valley鈥, like the 鈥橫ax-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics鈥. The program is very flexible so that I have the freedom to focus on my main interests: Topological order, Quantum field theories, and Quantum many-body physics.
