Podcast Interview
I was invited to the TU Graz Podcast Talk Science to Me to present and chat about the research in my group. It was great fun to do such a discussion and I hope it is of interest to some of you.
At the moment, the podcast is only available in German. It is planned to do a similar thing in English soon, but it won’t be released until later this year.
