Jan is from Germany and is currently living in California. Jan had finished his undergraduate study in University of Hannover and came to United States to pursue next degree in Caltech two years ago. He likes his life in the U.S. so much that he doesn¡¯t want to go back. He has grown quite fond of California¡¯s bright sun and warm weather, beautiful beaches and laid-back people. Jan is a physicist working for an institution called Ligo, a gravitational wave observatory. As a part of an astronomy project, he sets up experiments and works on underground seismic measurements. He then observes and compares the data with prior estimation. Caltech has a significant reputation in the field of gravitational physics, and that's being another reason for Jan wanting to continue his further research there.
