hobbies
Activities beyond research that bring balance, structure, and inspiration to my academic life.
🌿 Life Beyond Research
I sing weekly with Zinnechoeur, an a cappella choir of 32 singers. Working on demanding vocal pieces in a group setting has taught me a lot about listening, precision, and collective effort.
Endurance sports are a central part of my routine. I practice triathlon, which structures my weeks through training and my years through long-term goals and races. It provides both physical challenge and mental clarity.
In the summer, I enjoy bikepacking—traveling slowly and self-supported, staying close to landscapes and people. I also go hiking and backpacking whenever I can, seeking out remote places as a counterbalance to time spent in the lab.
From collective harmony to endurance and exploration — choir, triathlon, bikepacking, and hiking
