About Me

In a Nutshell

I study Geography (Bachelor of Science) and work as a student assistant at the University of Bonn. I am the chair of the Geography Student Council and hold a scholarship from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.

On this website, I publish articles about my external brain, self-management, habits, and stoicism — to improve my own life and the lives of others. I combine scientific insights with personal experience and self-experiments.

Milestones to Date

The following milestones have had a lasting impact on my life to date:

• Semester abroad at University College London: From September to December 2023, I spent a semester abroad at UCL, where I improved my English skills and transferred module credits to my geography degree in Germany.
• Member and Chair of the Geography Student Council: I have been an active member of the geography student body since my first semester and have been elected to numerous committees and commissions. Since the winter semester 2022/23, I have been a member of the student council elected by the student body, chair of the geography student council, and a student member of the institute's executive board. From April 2023 to March 2024, I was a student member of the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. I am a member and chair of the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Student Council Conference since October 2024.
• GeoMINT Award: In November 2022, I won the GeoMINT Award of the German Umbrella Association for Geoinformation with the initiative “GeoMINT@school”, which I co-founded. The initiative is committed to improving geography education in schools, which should include lessons about GIS (geographic information systems) and remote sensing topics.
• Admission to the “Honors Program” of the University of Bonn: As one of the 100 best students in my cohort, I was accepted into the “Honors Program” by the University of Bonn, which allows me to attend extracurricular modules.
• Scholarship from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation: In March 2022, I was accepted into the German Academic Scholarship Foundation as a scholarship holder and am still supported by them today. I am also involved in school lectures as an ambassador for the Foundation.
• Abitur (high school diploma) with distinction: I graduated from high school in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) in 2021 with a final grade of 1.0 (880/900 points). This makes me the best student of my high school since its foundation in 1861, and I was recognized by the state government for my exceptional academic results.

However, I would not have achieved all of this without certain people in my life, and would not be where I am today.

Since I am studying Geography and am concerned with climate change, I have made sure that this website is climate-friendly. According to the Website Carbon Calculator, my website emits fewer emissions than most other sites. Click here to see the detailed results of the Website Carbon Calculator.
