Parallel Session on "Early Career African Physicists": ASK An ASP (Alumni)
- George Lowani Zimba (FRIB)
- Mounia Laassiri (University of Helsinki)
Description
8 ASP Alumni will share their ideas and stories through a defined topic to answer the following questions:
• Where are you now?
• What happened to you after you attended ASP?
Since my undergraduate studies, I immersed myself in the fascinating realm of quantum mechanics and particle physics. I delved into the theory of quantum fields, studying the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. My journey as a particle physicist became enriched and an exhilarating adventure after my participation in the African School of Physics in 2012 in Ghana. Today I will briefly...
In this presentation, I will discuss my career path, the challenges I faced along the way, and how I overcame these challenges. Furthermore, I will speak about the opportunities I have received along the way that have enabled me to pursue my research journey in Africa.
Every step is preparation for the next one. Preparation with the right opportunity is all that you need to get to where you desire to be.
My talk will be talking about how I came into the field of High energy physics considering the fact that I am an engineer. I will talk about why I chose to continue in this path and what I think the possibilities are when it comes to gaining insights into the inner workings of the universe, how innovation can come from this field and what the future might hold when it comes to physics...
I will share in this presentation, my experience as a young researcher after ASP 2014, lessons learned, my research and a motivation for research in Africa.
