    Competitive sport is not always glorified as a worthwile pursuit for those who seek to have lives that do not centre around competing at the national and international level. Here I seek to disspel this myth. Competing in any sport, to a high level, offers valuable life lessons that can give you an edge in any future pursuit.

Jan Ole Ernst

PhD Student in Physics
Oxford University

I was born and raised in Berlin, but I moved to the UK in 2017 to study Physics and Philosophy, driven by a desire to deeply understand the world. Eventually, I gravitated more towards physics and currently, I am pursuing a quantum physics PhD. I am passionate about physics research, programming and the development of novel technologies. My experiences are varied; I have worked for a VC, a quantum computing startup, as well as a bigger tech company.

Besides that, I love to read, travel and pursue outdoor sports. I spent most of my university career rowing and in my summers and winters I love to surf and ski respectively.
