 Hello, I am Andrea! It is very important to me to keep a sane work-life balance in such a demanding, time- and energy-consuming job like the doctorate. In my free-time I play volleyball, love hiking, riding my road bike, cross-country skiing and many more things related to nature. I am very happy to help with any challenges that you may encounter during your time here at D-CHAB.

Hi, I am Luca, from the help desk. I enjoy skiing, running and a sort of weird cross-section of sports. Besides, I am a go-to, ready to start something new kind of person which explains some of my recent cooking agendas (although the quality needs to be improved, I was told). In this spirit I believe we should not take ourselves too seriously. The doctorate can be stressful not only physically, but also mentally draining and can feel overwhelming and too much for one person, so I have found taking everything with a bit of humor helps. Aside from humor, it’s important that you don’t have to solve everything by yourself. You can always reach out to us. We are happy to support or help if you are struggling or even just to talk, so don’t be shy.
