About me

[RubenVanderBorght]

Hi all

I’m Ruben or RubenVanderBorght.
I live in Leuven, Belgium and am following this course at the KU Leuven.
Leuven is quite a picturesque city which makes it definitely worth visiting. Certainly visit the science campus at the more wooded side of Leuven.
I did a bachelors in Physics and Mathematics at the KU Leuven, and am now pursuing a Masters in Condensed Matter Physics at the KU Leuven. Therefore, I’m mainly interested in hyperfine interactions from the Solid State perspective, and I would like to learn the connection between both, as well as the basics of the topic.
I would simply like to gain a better understanding of Solid State physics for fun, but also because it can be useful later on in my track in sciences.

Best
Ruben

Hello Ruben. Thank you for sharing. I am a mechanical engineer, and aspiring electrician, not a physicist. Is solid state physics directly related to solid state electrical/computing devices, or are the names only a coincidence?

Hi
Both are indeed related. In physics, we mainly look at the phenomena that happen in solids, and you will probably use them to make working devices. It’s the same stuff, but we look at it differently :).
