What else I would like to say

Higher education and a research-oriented career come with challenges, as well as great opportunities. I am open to discuss these topics with motivated students. I can offer my experience with scientific research within and outside of MedUni Wien, and with the challenge of juggling family and work within an international background. I view mentoring as an opportunity of two-way communication and growth, and I am happy to hear and elaborate on the perspective of young students, and the themes that are most relevant for their specific formative stage.
