Having received his degree in physics from Oxford back in 2017, Eduardo moved to the US to take on his phd, and some surfing when time permits. His research focuses on stellarators, a method of magnetic confinement for fusion experiments, and he's a bit of a film nerd! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
