      I was just curious of what was around me, how things were working in nature, science was the perfect tool to answer those questions.

      I liked learning the working principles of things happening around me – natural phenomena and gadgets at home. I didn’t aim to be a scientist. I have other qualifications.
      I enjoyed the research aspect during a Master’s degree project and I decided to give it a shot. 5 years later, I officially became a scientist.
