10 Questions with Shanika Galaudage Shanika from Australia is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur (Lagrange laboratory) in Nice, France. As a gravitational-wave astrophysicist, she studies some of the most violent events in the Universe using gravitational waves: collisions between pairs of black holes and/or neutron stars. Her main area of research involves studying the population of these sources to find out how these systems lived their lives. Shanika participates in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Enjoy the interview with Shanika and ..read more

10 Questions with Emily Kerrison Emily from Australia is a Ph.D. student at the University of Sydney / CSIRO Space & Astronomy, Australia. She works in radio astronomy as part of a survey team using data from the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope to map the cold gas content of other galaxies. They want to understand how the gas distribution has evolved across cosmic time and how this relates to the ways in which galaxies form, evolve, and interact with one another. She is focused on augmenting their understanding of this gas by extracting extra information fr ..read more

10 Questions with Anna Dawid Anna from Poland is a Research Fellow at the Flatiron Institute in New York, NY, USA. She is developing interpretable machine learning for science so it can solve scientific problems and teach us new things about science. She also studies ultracold platforms for quantum simulations, which are their playground for observing and understanding quantum phenomena. Anna participates in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Enjoy the interview with Anna and get inspired: What inspired you to pursue a career in science / in your discipline? When I was in high school ..read more

10 Questions with Nora Martin Nora from Germany is an Independent Fellow at Barcelona Collaboratorium for Modelling and Predictive Biology (CRG), Barcelona, Spain. She trained as a physicist and then specialized in the interdisciplinary field of biophysics. Her research contributes to our quantitative understanding of evolution by building computational models of one key aspect: variation through random mutations. Nora participates in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Enjoy the interview with Nora and get inspired: What inspired you to pursue a career in science / in your discipline ..read more

10 Questions with Giulia Lo Gerfo Morganti Giulia from Italy is a Ph.D. student at the ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain. Giulia’s research focuses on understanding the structure-function connection in materials used for renewable energy. In particular, she uses lasers to track in time and space how fast and how far energy can be transported in photosynthetic systems and semiconductors, aiming to improve light-to-energy conversion efficiency and guide the design of new artificial systems. Giulia participates in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Enjoy the inte ..read more

10 Questions with Aneta Karpińska Aneta from Poland is a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the Polish Academy of Sciences and Chief Operating Officer at Cell-IN. She uses the Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy technique to study anticancer drugs’ internalization directly inside living cancer cells at the single-molecule level. This method allows for determining whether and to what concentration the desired drug is uptaken by cells as well as the tested drug’s intracellular interactions. Such data are essential in selecting the molecule with the most significant therap ..read more

10 Questions with Luana Olivieri Luana from Italy is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the Emergent Photonics Research Centre, Loughborough University (UK). Her research focuses on developing novel “nonlinear” platforms for imaging objects at hard-to-reach wavelengths (like terahertz). She is now investigating novel methods for imaging objects embedded in complex media – materials that scatter light by changing its straight path – thus invisible by standard approaches. Luana participates in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Enjoy the interview with Luana and get inspired: What ..read more

10 Questions with Irene Abril Cabezas Irene from Spain is a Ph.D. student at the University of Cambridge, UK. She is a physicist in Cosmology. Her work focuses on studying the afterglow light from the Big Bang to learn more about the very beginning of the Universe and the subsequent distribution of dark matter across cosmic time. Irene participates in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Enjoy the interview with Irene and get inspired: What inspired you to pursue a career in science / in your discipline? In all honesty, I decided that I would study Physics at university quite late. This ..read more
