Fernando Gago Encinas
City coordinator
I am a Ph.D. student in quantum control and quantum information at Free University Berlin. I think scientific outreach is a necessary tool to bridge the gap between state-of-the-art research and all of us. And of course, it is always a lot of fun!
Alexandra Hrdina
City coordinator
I am a PhD student with a particular interest in host-pathogen interactions during infection. I enjoy getting people excited about my research. That‘s why I am part of the Pint of Science team, to get everyone involved in science and share their ideas and passion.
Julia Kraxner
Deputy city coordinator
I am a biophysicist with a focus on cell mechanics and currently working as a postdoc at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin. I love to learn new things and I think that Pint of Science is the perfect event to learn about research projects that you would not otherwise get in touch with.
Finn Lobnow
Technology manager
I’m a German PhD student at the MPI for Infection Biology and my work involves molecular defense systems and signaling pathways. While science communication can be challenging, it’s also a super rewarding part of my job - Cheers to all the wonderful ‘Aha’-moments we can share over a pint!
Lilly Bartsch
Location manager
I am a PhD student working on the human microbiome at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology. I love working in science almost as much as I love talking about it, which is why I got involved in Pint of Science.
Zoé Valbret
Publicity manager
I'm a subeditor at Nature Magazine, and I love sharing science with the world. It’s always amazing to see how researchers explain their work in creative and fun ways. I’m really looking forward to meeting new people and hearing some incredible science stories at Pint of Science, Berlin.
Sri Sridharan
Event manager
My background spans electrical engg & mathematics (U.Michigan), reinforcement learning for quantum systems (PhD ANU/Australia) and control theory. I currently work on clinical large language models for healthcare funding and am excited to volunteer with PoS to help ideas jump across fields.
Tim Petzold
Location manager
I’m a developmental biologist at the Max Delbrück Center. I’m interested in everything embryo related and also enjoy bouldering, coffee and good science communication!
Cassandra Marguerit Cruz
Event manager
I’m a senior at Minerva University, currently on study abroad in Berlin, majoring in Computer Science with a passion for blending technology and science communication. I’m particularly fascinated by the intersection of science, art, and design, and I’m eager to connect with others who share this int…
