Hi all! I am Rebecca, I am from the UK, from Imperial College London and I have been a doctoral student at CERN since March 2021. I have always intended to come to CERN as a physics researcher, and even from the age of 12 chose my language and science modules in the hope that I would come to work here someday!
Hello! My name is Elif, I am from Turkey. I obtained my bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Marmara University, İstanbul.
Meet Chetna, administrative student at CERN
Hello! My name is Fleur and I was born in the Netherlands, but grew up on a small Caribbean island called Curaçao. When I finished high school I moved back to the Netherlands to study Applied Physics at the Delft University of Technology. After finishing my bachelor’s degree I wanted to gain more practical experience in the field of physics, and I have always been fascinated by CERN and their research.
I am a firefighter from Sweden. I am married and have two 6-year old twin boys. During the years I worked there I had the chance to work in two different fire and rescue services, and I was fortunate to be in a time and place where I got the opportunity to engage in some different projects on regional and national levels. This opened my eyes to working in a bigger context, but it is not the whole truth. I am also quite curious and adventurous as a person.
Greetings! I’m Daniel, I come from Romania and have studied in various locations throughout Europe. CERN changed my life, in quite a literal manner. Some of my colleagues can pinpoint exactly when they heard about CERN for the first time and how they knew immediately this is their dream place to be. However, this was not the case for me, but I developed a passion for CERN slowly over time, as I was hearing all the fantastic news about the Organization.
Hey there! My name is Anastasiia. Coming originally from Ukraine, I moved to Austria right after finishing school, to study Mass Media and Communication Science at the University of Vienna. While doing my Bachelor’s Degree, I was constantly looking for internship opportunities in the communications field, and one day came across a call for students at CERN in the framework of the Administrative Student Programme.
Meet Asier, software engineer in Identity and Access Management Systems.
Hi there, I’m Vilde from Norway, and I’d like to share the story of how I ended up at CERN, and how my life has changed because of it.
The first thing I think it’s important to remember is that everyone’s path is different, and that’s good! There is no general recipe for reaching a goal. The only approach that will make you happy in the end is finding what truly motivates you, being honest with yourself and others, and to make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons.
