+**Description of Research**: One of the many goals in high-energy physics is to look at the subatomic world and describe what matter is made of. The ATLAS group, where I would like to do research, is involved in one of the detectors of the LHC at CERN, where protons or ions are brought into collision. By tracking the different particles after these collisions, you study the elementary particles and even hope to find new physics.

+**What excites you about physics**: What excites me most about physics is that you learn new concepts every day. The more you think you know, the more you realize that this is not true. And it also helps you to better understand the world around you.

+**What do you recommend if you're struggling in class?**: Try to keep up with your homework and don't wait too long if you realize you're struggling. The first step I would recommend is to ask your group members for help. Furthermore, don't hesitate to use all the other resources such as LAs, TAs, Office Horus, Helproom and the various forums to ask questions.

+**Fun fact about me** I'm really bad at orientation, I once even managed to get lost with one of my friends on a school trip because we took a different route to the others. So, if you see me, never ask me for directions. My best support in this regard is Google Maps. What's more is that I play the piano and enjoy taking horse riding lessons.

+**Section**: 5
+**Research Area**: Condensed Matter Theory
+**Description of Research**: Simulating quantum dot systems exploring nonlinear optical phenomena.
+**What excites you about physics**: I love being able to solve my everyday problems, physics is the knowledge of the real world!
+**What do you recommend if you're struggling in class?**: Take a step back, sometimes it helps to separate from the problem for a moment, if that doesn't work you can always talk to someone, your peers know a lot and might have an explanation that makes sense to you.
+**Fun fact about me** Can't wait to go skiing come winter.
