Ever since kindergarten, I've wanted to become a nuclear physicist. Along the way, I've figured out the society, the relations, and complex cultural phenomena in it, which offer questions and puzzles that fascinate me much more. Contemporary European History and audiovisual media ended up being what I am doing my research and teaching on. Born a natural optimist, I still do my best to bow down to science rather than wishful thinking. As a team player, I find fulfillment in helping people and standing up for others, when I can.
