My first moments as Dr. rer. nat.
During July 2004 I defended my PhD thesis at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universitaet Jena (Germany). This picture was taken just after the defense. I am wearing the German traditional mortar board, it has been made with alluded decoration by the other students. Picture credits: Ana Bedalov
