In the series “33 questions” we introduce, in no particular order, our WiRe Fellows who are currently working on a research project here at the University of Münster. Why 33? Well, if we think of the rush hour of life, it is kind of the age that lies in its middle. And we also like the number😉.
In today’s episode we are speaking with Yuchen, physicist and passionate lover of functional materials.
1. What motivated you to work in the field of physics?

For me, what motivated me in this field could be decomposed into 3 aspects:
1) Desire to know more. It is human nature to explore the unknown.
2) Happiness brought by Truth. I was told that the ancient Greeks thought the Absolute Truth is solely held in the hands of “Gods”, I feel happy to take a peek at what’s inside “Gods’” hands, and to quest what is really behind the physical facts.
