Meet Jirka, a space engineer currently working for ISOLDE within the VITO team

Could you tell us a bit about yourself and what motivated you to come to CERN? 
My name is Jiří Jalůvka, I’m 25 years old, and I’m currently studying space engineering.  Ever since I started university, I’ve always been most passionate about courses that were deeply rooted in Physics. I was never satisfied just plugging numbers into formulas, I always wanted to understand the principles behind them. I liked to dig deeper and really get to the bottom of things.  

Meet Daniel, a developer with the CERN web team, within the International Relations department.

Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN?
I am an undergraduate in Computer Science and Machine Learning at the University of Bath, UK. I applied to CERN because its mission and values strongly align with my own (international, social, environmental, open science). Additionally, the opportunity to work at the forefront of technology and science was one I didn’t want to miss.
