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.
