Helping more people better understand and put knowledge into action – that is the core vision all my projects are based upon.
Currently I am doing my PhD in physics at the age of 23. Having written two books about education, now I am building an open source publishing company: Visual Ink Publishing. I also love traveling, reading and photography.
Projects
This is the stuff I am up to lately.
Ben’s Planet
My personal blog about physics, entrepreneurship and anything that interests me. The planet has a courier – my personal newsletter keeping you updated regularly.
Visual Ink Publishing
We publish books in the realm of education, completely open-source under a Creative Commons license. A minimum of 10 % of our profit is invested in education projects.
Team NFDI
Within the Young Germany Physical Society (jDPG) me and my team are informing aspiring physicist about the German national research data infrastructure (NFDI).
What I am up to Now
I am currently doing my PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Due to Corona I am currently in home office, dedicating most of my time to finishing up my PhD projects and on the other hand building my first company “Visual Ink Publishing“.
I am also reading the books by Yuval Harari, thinking about Dataism and how the world will look like in 2050.
The idea of a “Now Page” was originally put forward by Derek Sivers: a web page with “what you’d tell a friend you hadn’t seen in a year“.
My latest Book: Early Study
They attend lectures alongside school, write exams like real students, and there are around 2,000 of them across Germany: schoolchildren taking part in early study programs. What began as a pilot project around the turn of the millennium inspired universities throughout Germany with its success and today prepares early students for tomorrow’s studies.
Based on three years of experience and a recent survey by the Deutsche Telekom Foundation, this book tells a story of how early study can succeed.
