Recently arrived in Lausanne; new to glocals

Hello Everyone!


I just joined glocals, and as per the welcome email, I'll introduce myself:


I just moved to Lausanne to start a post-doc in mathematics at EPFL. Before arriving here I lived in San Francisco for 4 years, and before that Palo Alto, England, New Jersey, and I was born and raised in Vermont. I'm interested in hiking in the Alps and Skiing and meeting interesting, adventurous and curious-about-the-world-type-people.


 


Currently stuck in apartment search madness right now!


 


Wish me luck,


 


Ian

Hi Ian


Good luck on all your endeavours, and a warm welcome in Switzerland. Im sure you will soon on the Alps somewhere, as well as skiing.


Good luck with the appartment. Do you live under a bridge now? Is it warm there? Smile

Hey Ian



Saw your introduction post on the forum. Since you're from SF did you ever think of getting into the startup world or the math you study is not applicable to the real world ? If you are up for a beer let me know.

I used to live in SF! I met my husband there. I miss the city very much.

Thanks for the replies James and Hannah!


@Hannah: I miss SF very much too, but I'm also have a good time here in Lausanne.  Still enjoying the first everything-is-so-new phase of my time abroad. 


@James: I never really gave leaving academia for the start-up world much serious thought.  I think if the whole academic thing doesn't work out for me for whatever reason then I'd look into it.  But I'd need a good idea before starting a company.  I like the idea of being my own boss that I get in the research world, and if I could get that in the start-up world too, that would be cool.  Things are pretty busy for me right now with moving and all, but maybe we can meet up maybe in a week after things settle down for me.
