I'm a PhD student in accelerator physics at CERN, enjoying the exploration of nature and the cosmos. In this channel, I give my personal impressions of exploring the experiments at CERN, the local area around Geneva and many beautiful sceneries around the globe.

watching this while at cern hits diff
Thank you for this video very informative
how a master student should prepare himself to join CERN for PhD especially in the area of dark matter or your area of research? Please guide
Exciting with PhD prospects! I would recommend looking for researchers in the field at your uni or local area, ask them to do a project together. There are many ways into CERN, but knowing people at your uni who have seen you working hard on a project really helps!
Have you any suggestion about the best period of the year or day of the week for a tour? I woul'd like to plan a visit i the near future and see the most I can.
Any time of the year I would say, but if you come during the annual shutdown (Dec-Jan) there is the chance of going down the LHC tunnel!
I'm going to Geneva next month and thinking about visiting, i know there's not alot to "see" but is there any opportunity to see any part of the large hadron collider?
Great video. Very informative. I think it is great that you volunteer for this.
I am visiting CERN in few weeks from Germany. I have no idea how to book a guided tour for individuals. The website says you can only book offline. Can you help me?
CERN Logo changed....................................................
God rules Jesus saves
Ok, but what does that have to do with CERN
Hope to apply there!
*creating the conditions of the early universe* amazing
one of the most useless waste of money ever. 0 ZERO impact on world's economy. These people drain earth's resources from the poor low wages muslims. Muslims must run CERN, and make it a Mosquee.
Man's living my dream... Thanks for such excursion, see you there in a few years, hopefully.
He can barely contain his laughter. Shows how much he's excited to be there. Research needs people with this attitude.
Are there programs to do work at CERN from the US? I'm a US undergrad student and want to get involved.
Can you make a video about your Phd project? 🤩🤩🤩
I used to say that I dream of being a scientist at CERN, but no one even understands it, but I went to the medical field and hope I'll be good at it
The only people that watch this, actually knows what CERN is bunch of nerds we are. I loved the video, and must be nice….also jealous.. can’t wait to see that place
absolute legend, keep up the great work brother!
Man i envy you this Stuff is fascinating but I’m too dumb to comprehend any of it. Nonetheless really cool to see. Is the Statue of some Hindu goddess thing real?
I can tell you are very happy and proud to be working there 👏. You can't hide your smile 😁. Great to see it ☺️.
the song makes the video 100% more captivating, wow. great choice and nice video! greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Ew cringe
you speak better English than me and most native speaking English people I know
congrats bro glad to see that
Hi Elias so you have Instagram or any messaging app to contact you . I have to ask you some important questions regarding this subject . Anyways your work is the best
Sjukt imponerande! Kämpa kämpa kämpa!!
This guy is living his dream and working at such an important place. It’s tough not to envy him. Do great things!
Thank you, I am so happy to hear :)
Hey! I work in high energy physics theory, crazy to think that some of the things we’re working on can be worked up in these places. Hoping to see more!
Happy to hear, I am constantly amazed by what we can actually unravel through combining theory with these enormous machines!
How to get PhD admission at CERN sir... I completed MSc physics
Hiii, can you please tell your story on how you get to have PhD at CERN? And maybe your academic background a bit? Thank you so much love your videos hope you have a great day✨️✨️
Hi! My background is a Bachelor's degree in physics at the Uppsala University, then a Master's degree there in particle and nuclear physics with the last year spent as a technical student at CERN. I realized throughout my university research internships in astrophysics, particle physics and then accelerator physics that I really wanted to design the accelerators. I think these internships and their connections to researchers are what really helped me getting into CERN. As I mentioned in another comment, there are many ways into CERN, either through a research group at your university or through some of the student programmes at CERN: careers.smartrecruiters.com/CERN/students Recruiters and supervisors look not only for grades but also project experience, programming skills and passion for the topic. If I were you, take some small uni research projects to start exploring what you like - this makes you stand out. If they notice that you have already read up on the topic, it says a lot about your drive! I would like to make a video soon on tips on getting into CERN for students :)
@@eliaswaagaard Thank you so much for the response!! You are so inspiring
Wowwwww😊😊😊
Is it allowed to make videos in such confidential places like CERN? does this cause any trouble to you?
I agree with the others who say these are the channels we should support.
Thank you so much, I am very passionate about bringing science to the larger public! These big questions of the Universe are so important to all of us.
Congratulations and well done. A life lived. You've crushed 99.999% of us.
The yt algorithm is really powerful, I remember you had guided me (with an indian students group) through the anti matter factory this january, congrats on your yt channel
Hi Elias, I have always considered studying physics. Although I am extremely curious and interested I am not sure if I should pursue this little dream of mine at the TUM. Do you think there is a high demand in phycisists, which jobs do you think are most common and how difficult is it to get the possibility to work at Cern? Thank you very much for your help!
Hello! From my experience, physicists are in really high demand everywhere - not only in academia but also in many companies or agencies. Studying physics is hard and takes quite some intellectual effort, but is extremely rewarding and makes you perceive the world in such a deeper way. Rather than just a study path, it is a lifestyle choice I would say. Having pursued a PhD in physics is often perceived a quality stamp that you are able to distinguish very subtle important patterns from noise, but also that you are capable of mathematics, programming and project management. Some former physicists I know ended up as very well-off consultants, data scientists, entrepreneurs or software engineers. If you are ready for this path, it is something I can truly recommend. Then after your studies there are thousands of possibilities. I can really recommend the CERN technical student programme at the end of your studies, e.g. for a Master's thesis: careers.smartrecruiters.com/CERN/tech If you are from a CERN member state, have some research project experience at your uni and reasonable grades, you have quite of a good chance getting into CERN. Once you are inside CERN, learning opportunities are endless, so this is a fantastic starting point. Good luck for all your ventures :)
is TUM good? i am very confused with the German education system, what is the ranking of german universities? is the acceptance very selective? what is a gym?
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 As far as I know the TUM is one of the leading universities in Germany and also in the world. My teacher told me (He studied at the TU Chemnitz and in Stanford) that you can't really get wrong with a university in Germany, which differs from the US. A "Gym" is a "Gymnasium" which is basically the highest type of school path you can go before going to a university. Hope this helps a bit :)
@@grapefruitsyrup8185coming from Munich myself, TUM has a great reputation not only nation-, but also worldwide. They are highly equipped with research gear, especially in particle physics as well. Getting into TUM physics isn't hard, if I recall correctly its the only subject without acceptance criteria, but with very hard tests the first two semesters you need to pass in order to continue with your studies. Might be, that as a foreigner youre competing with other foreigners to get into the x amount of slots for foreign students, that they offer. (that's still quite a bit)
Really good video! Do you pretend to work in future there? Are you still working?
I got this in my recommendation. 😊
I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and 1+ years of experience as a Software engineer. I've always had an interest in physics and I keep studying and exploring it in parallel, but sadly I got nothing to show for my physics knowledge. Can you provide some helpful suggestions on how I can transition my career into something like computational physics (basically physics (because of my interest) and computer science (because of my degree and experience) is what I mean).
Hello! As I understood it, CERN hires a lot of software engineers and computer scientists to maintain services across CERN. Many of my colleagues have no background in physics at all - once again, I think project experience matters a lot even if it is far away from particle physics. If you have the chance to showcase these skills and project experiences, chances are good that many experiments and departments are interested in you! Have a look here, several posts usually relate to IT: careers.smartrecruiters.com/CERN/staff
Oh brother the background music is very annoying Great job although
Thanks! Good point, I will lower the volume a little bit then :)
@@eliaswaagaard you’re great
Hi, i am such wrong to compare technology to theology.
Hey, I'm Physics Bachelor Student and I would dearly love to go and work/do anything at CERN. How difficult is it to get a place in some kind of program? Thank you for giving us a authentic insight.
Hello! First point: there are many ways into CERN, either through a research group at your university or through some of the student programmes at CERN: careers.smartrecruiters.com/CERN/students Recruiters and supervisors look not only for grades but also project experience, programming skills and passion for the topic. If I were you, take some small uni research projects to start exploring what you like - this makes you stand out. Also emailing researchers directly inside CERN led many of my colleagues here. If they notice that you have already read up on the topic, it says a lot about your drive! I intend to make a video soon on tips on getting into CERN for students :)
@@eliaswaagaard thank you very much for your answer. Funny you say it, because tomorrow I start my first day working in a research group :). Are there also other experiments at cern involving something in the direction of photonics? And please do make a video talking about getting into CERN.
@@hudsonhorsmann6686 CERN does a lot of research on ionization and laser spectroscopy, see this page: sy-dep-sti.web.cern.ch/lp In particular, this happens at the ISOLDE experiment as I understood it.
nice video
I hope you don't accidentally create a black hole
They couldnt actually create a Big black Hole which could be Dangerous for us but there are theories that small microscopical black holes could be created These wouldnt be Dangerous and Would evaporate instantlly
wtf is that music ahjahaha
Hi nice video. Can you briefly explain me about your field of research? I mean is accelerator physics a part of particle physics or high-energy physics or is it a totally specific different branch. What are the similarities & differences among these three fields from research perspective?
Hello! In accelerator physics, we work with transporting and accelerating beams of charged particles close to the speed of light. We use magnets and radio-frequency cavities to manipulate the beam, squeezing it to tiny sizes such that there are enough particle collisions and the LHC detectors study these collisions. Accelerator physics is a lot about applied electromagnetism, classical mechanics and numerical simulations at the end of the day. There are some similarities with high-energy physics (HEP) as we study the same particles, but most often they investigate the strong or weak forces, whereas accelerator physics mostly uses the electromagnetic force. Hope it clarifies a bit, I can send some more introduction material if you are interested ;)
Is very interesting video. You also sound like a very good spokesperson to get people to Improve themselves by taking classes and learning more about the subjects you talked about. Too scientific for me. Well done I wish you the best..
Thank you for your compliment, I am very passionate about scientific outreach! :)
Just stop pretending an tell us about the portal to the evil realm.
For some reason your cadence and speaking reminds me of the way Pewdipie/Felix speaks when he's being mock surprised! Though I suppose it makes senseboth bein swedish, hehe. Regardless, really informative and interesting video on how CERN actually works. Too few videos showing the actual realistic side of things on something like this! Appreciate it :).
Thanks, I am happy to hear! :)
My Dream JOb is work in CERN as a Computer Scientist, i am from Pakistan and working hard for it, soon i will be there.
Oh I did not expect to find a fellow Pakistani here, hope your dreams are fulfilled
