“Physics PhD student who really feels at home in the LGBTIAQ+ community and loves to find ways to bring these worlds closer together.”

My name is Daan (he/his), a PhD student in theoretical physics at the University of Leipzig and of the homosexual variety. In my work I study the the influence of quantum fields on the formation of black holes, and outside of that I love to be involved in the LGBTIAQ+ community (admittedly vague as that term may sometimes be). These are both very important aspects of my life, and these are also sides I’d rather not keep fully separated. Unfortunately, by mechanisms too complicated to delve in here, these worlds sometimes seem to live in different universes. I believe that this does not and should not be the case, and this is my motivation to join this lovely group of people that being these worlds together.
