I am a physicist and investor. I invest at Founders Fund and live in Silicon Valley. I like to read obscure books and write essays – subscribe here.
I left a theoretical physics degree at a young age. My research focus was on galaxy simulations and star formations. I always cared about increasing the number of scientific and technological breakthroughs. Unfortunately, I found that universities mostly failed at this. My obsession with physics was motivated by an early obsession with programming and deep learning. I was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany.
Today, I am help build and invest in technologies that matter. I would love to see more young, ambitious people work on revolutionary technologies, like nano bots, whole-human-body simlulations on a cellular level, and more.
I am grateful that my blog The Schilling Point was supported by Emergent Ventures in 2023. Recent intellectual interests include nano technology, Spinoza, and the history of the Roman Republic.
