Stefan Golfier, Germany  | Meet the #FameLabInternational2021 finalists
Channel: FameLab
Date: 2021-11-01

Meet Stefan Golfier representing Germany at the #FameLabInternational2021 Online Final in November. 

Stefan, known as 'Goofy' to his friends, is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems.

He says: 'I started out as a curious kid in the German countryside, collecting everything that would fit into my tiny pockets - from plants and pebbles to the creatures that dwelt under them. The desire to understand the mysterious beauty of nature probably got me into physics. Later I wondered how all the living stuff works, so I turned to biophysics, investigating the physical mechanism that govern life. To this day I am fascinated by nature and love the adventure of exploration - be it behind a microscope or climbing a cliff.'
