Maydel Fernandez-Alonso
City Coordinator
I’m a postdoc investigating the mechanisms of light perception in humans, both for vision and for synchronizing our body clock with the day and night. I love science communication, and was an Pint of Science organiser in the UK, which inspired me to bring the event to Tübingen for 2024!
Laura Iacovissi
Publicity Manager
Hey all! I’m a PhD student in Computer Science, working on Foundations of Machine Learning (= Math). Originally from Italy, I’ve lived in Tübingen since 2020. Being a beer enthusiast, I couldn’t lose the opportunity of organizing the Pint of Science event!
Christina Bruckmann
Web Manager
Hi, I'm doing my PhD in cognitive neuroscience and am mainly fascinated by how the brain creates consciousness. Outside of the lab I enjoy drawing and bouldering.
Last year's event was a blast, which is why I am very excited to help organize Pint of Science again this year! :)
Diego Baptista Theuerkauf
Web Manager
Hi, my name is Diego! I am originally Venezuelan, now living in Tübingen, where I do my PhD in Computer Science. I work at the intersection of Optimal Transportation and Machine Learning. Beyond research, I'm keen on science communication and digital art.
Theresa Horn
Treasurer
I'm a PhD student with a background in Cognitive Science and Computational Neuroscience. Currently, I am interested in understanding the role of dopamine in time perception. My passion for science communication led me to join Pint of Science.
Francesca Capuano
Event Manager
I’m a postdoc at the Psychology Institute, where I explore how humans and AI understand language. I was part of the organizing team in 2020, during the pandemic, when we hosted virtual events. Sure, Zoom was convenient, but it didn’t come with the thrill of dodging spilled beer!
Hannes Wierig
Event Manager
Hi, I'm Hannes, a master's student in molecular cell biology and immunology, studying neutrophil receptor signaling. Outside the lab, I enjoy reading, mountain biking, and playing guitar. Looking forward to meeting you all at Pint of Science Tübingen!
Maxim Allaart
Event Manager
Hi there! I'm a postdoc studying the microbes that live in our gut. I study how they help us digest our food and prevent us from getting sick. Outside the lab, I am a yoga teacher and a mountain hiker, and I enjoy cooking delicious food to feed my brain, muscles and gut microbes :)
Sina Angenendt
Event Manager
I'm a PhD student in Systems Immunology, studying how cancer affects the immune response to the influenza vaccine. I love science communication and think that telling the general public about our work is extremely important, which is why I signed up to help organize this year's event.
Peng Liu
Event Manager
I am a postdoctoral researcher at AG Tranlsational Imaging of Cortical Microstructure (Kuehn Lab), Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH), Tübingen. My current research focus is on the body memory storage & retrieval and the brain plasticity change after intervention on somatic symptoms.
Sigrid van Grinsven
Event Manager
I am an environmental scientist with a great love for the outdoors - I love spending my time hiking, running and climbing. I work on greenhouse gas emissions from mountain and permafrost soils, for which I combine microbiology and chemistry.
Shakila Mostaan
Event Manager
I am a linguist by education and a grant writer by profession, working at the Health NLP lab at the University of Tübingen. The idea of bringing science to the general audience in a comfy ambiance intrigued me, and I decided to join the Pint of Science team as an event manager.
Shubhang Dadhich

I’m Shubhang Dadhich, a physics enthusiast and event manager for Pint of Science Tübingen. My love for science grew from reading popular science books, and I’m passionate about creating spaces where big questions meet curious minds—because science is for everyone. :beers::brain:
Neil Taylor
Event Manager
I am a postdoc in the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and I am investigating neuronal stress responses at the molecular level. I have a background in chemical biology and completed my PhD in Dublin, Ireland. Outside of the lab I like to run, hike and play football.
Catherine Hottin
Event Manager
Hi! I’m a postdoc in neuroscience and ophthalmology, studying retinal degeneration. I explore how the retina responds to disease and potential treatments to preserve vision. Passionate about making science accessible, one pint at a time!
Judith Rodríguez Lorenzo
Publicity Manager
Hi! my name is Judith and I come from Spain. Now I am finishing my Master's in Geoecology in Tübingen and I am very interested in all things related to climate change, specially sustainable agriculture. Bringing science to everybody is the reason why I joined Pint of Science :)
Kibidi Neocosmos
Event Manager
I’m a PhD student working at the intersection of machine learning and renewable energy systems. I was drawn to pint of science by a joy for communicating research in clear, bitesize bits of information interpretable by anyone (and of course, the beer doesn’t hurt). Outside of research, I love to coo...
Valentina Romagnano
Event Manager
I'm a neuroscience PhD student with a background in psychology, researching social cognition and brain communication in psychiatric populations. I believe science should be accessible and engaging for everyone, so I joined Pint of Science as an event manager to bring research beyond the lab!
Liyan Smeding
Treasurer
Hi, my background is in biomedical research for new drugs. During my PhD I developed new proteins to improve cancer therapy. In addition to pipetting, I really enjoy making science fun and available for all. This year I'm responsible for finding external partners to help us promote & run the event!
