Internship at the Orient-Institut Beirut in Cairo, Egypt

From January to February 2025, I had the wonderful opportunity to intern in the „mother of the world“, Egypt. The Orient-Institut Beirut – which derives its name from its geographical location – is part of the German Max-Weber-Stiftung and has a second office in Cairo, Egypt. Due to Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital from September to November 2024, the institute was forced to close temporarily and was not reopened until January 2025. Of course, the closure prevented me from travelling to Lebanon. Therefore, I was given the choice between a remote internship or an internship in the Cairo liaison office of the OIB. For me, that was an easy decision – so I booked my flight for Cairo in early October and travelled there on January 1. „Internship at the Orient-Institut Beirut in Cairo, Egypt“ weiterlesen

Biochemical Research at Boston Children’s Hospital, USA

When I started my internship at Boston Children’s Hospital, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School, I had great respect for the institution. Harvard is globally recognized as one of the best universities, and I was eager to understand what exactly makes it stand out. I wanted to discover what contributes to its exceptional reputation and whether its research environment is truly as unique as often portrayed. At the same time, I was curious about how research there would compare to Germany and whether Germany genuinely lags behind in terms of scientific excellence.

Research Internship in Seoul, South-Korea

I chose to do my research internship in Korea after having been there once for a working holiday in 2016 and then a second time on vacation in spring of 2024. This time I was going back with the idea of spending some more time there not just as a traveler but instead entering the work life. „Research Internship in Seoul, South-Korea“ weiterlesen

Internship at a Paranal Observatory in Chile

During my internship at ESO’s paranal observatory, I focused on automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks within the PIN (Paranal Instrumentation) Group. My role involved improving processes, developing automated systems, and using cutting-edge technology to enhance operational efficiency. I worked on three main projects: the FORS2 FFB3 lamp adjustment automation, LLM-powered report writing, and KMOS helium compressor closed-loop control, as well as assisting in the day to day operation of the PIN group. „Internship at a Paranal Observatory in Chile“ weiterlesen

Praktikum bei einer NGO auf Sansibar

Vorbereitung
Schon früh während meines Bachelor-Studiums war mir klar, dass ich am Ende meiner akademischen Ausbildung praktische Erfahrungen sammeln wollte, vorzugsweise im Ausland. Dabei war es mir wichtig, nicht nur theoretisches Wissen anzuwenden, sondern auch in einem Umfeld tätig zu sein, das außerhalb des klassischen akademischen Berufsfeldes liegt. Meine Suche nach einem geeigneten Praktikum begann mit Initiativbewerbungen bei verschiedenen NGOs. „Praktikum bei einer NGO auf Sansibar“ weiterlesen
