The Team

During the winter term 2014/15 we did a robotics internship where we constructed a RC car with onboard GPS and navigation. Afterwards we really wanted to continue working together and proposed to construct a POV Globe. We all study/ studied physics in Heidelberg and met during the Bachelor. Some time ago, we realized, that we might as well never grow up and that soldering LEDs is more fun than integrating around poles in the complex plane.

Our Team

But let us introduce ourselves:

Hi,

tinkering with LEDs is something really fun to do. Because I really like doing handicraft work I thought this project would be perfect to learn a lot and have fun doing it. The robotics labs taught me, that with some imagination and work we can nowadays build all kinds of cool things. My next project will be a POV wand

For my thesis I work at the MPI for nuclear physics in the division Quantum Dynamics & Control. In our group we do time-resolved spectroscopy in the femtosecond domain. My job has to do with the characterization of the pulses in the time domain. Thanks to the knowledge I gained about GPIO pins and servo motors I was able to construct automated laser shutters for my workgroup.

During my freetime I like reading fantasy books, watching stupid videos and movie trailers and spending time with my girlfriend. YES, exactly in this order :)
