Currently getting a master’s in genomics at Oxford. My thesis is focused on optimizing probe design for bait capture sequencing for infectious disease diagnostics/​surveillance. Worked on biosecurity research around far-UVC safety @SecureBio. Organized EA Munich for >2 years and did some EA community building in Germany. Studied 3 years of clinical medicine.

Sometimes, I write about meditation and other stuff. You can find my writing on my website or Substack: https://​​glozematrix.substack.com/​​
