Overview
About Me
Just finished a masters in biophysics. I built a microscope for studying dna transcription for my thesis project, and studied dna-protein interactions with it. After that I took a year out and traveled in India and China. Now working as a programmer in a tech startup.
I'm working kinda hard so I probably don't have much time to show you around just now, but you are welcome to stay over if you know how to entertain yourself.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Best way to meet local people and get an idea of a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books
Last three albums I got into: I actually decided to investigate pop music and metal a little bit since those are the two genres I have most neglected. So I've been listening to Charli XCX, FKA twigs and Dorian Electra on one side and Daughters, and Les Rallizes Denudes on the other. Otherwise just listening to some of my favorite piano works.
The last three authors I read: Noam Chomsky, Umberto Eco, and about to start a John Le Carre novel.
The last three films I watched: I've actually completly stopped watching films :(. Need to go see The Third Man at some point.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Saw far-off mountains breaking the dawn sun into broad beams that rake across the sky (in the Caucuses, in Kurdistan).
Teach, Learn, Share
I just finished a MSc in Physics, and I'm studying programming at the moment. I also know how to make electronic equipment.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Interesting facts about entropy, physics, computers and molecular biology.
