Other miscellaneous things

Other activities

Some other activities I am or was involved in, when not teaching or doing research:

In 2018, I was a student representative at Berlin Mathematical School. During our term, we introduced a peer mentoring programme (pairing new phase I students with a more experienced fellow BMS student for peer-to-peer support). This programme has been continued by the next teams of student reps; I continue to be a peer mentor.
With my fellow student reps, I co-organized the BMS Student Conference 2019.
Since 2019, I’m a co-organizer of the student-run What is seminar.
For those interested in the bigger picture, I can highly recommend the I, scientist conference organised by Lise Meitner Society. I’ve attended it several times, the last time virtually; sadly it seems that 2020 was the last installment so far.
A great opportunity to look at the scientific system as a whole, understand its current flaws and meet like-minded people caring about the same issues. I relished being in an environment where (cis-)male participants were a minority (perhaps 25% of all participants) for a change.

The design for this webpage was inspired by the design principles of Edward Tufte and numerous webpages, including that of Paramjit Singh, Fabio Gironella and Kathlén Kohn.
