Profile
Hello! I'm Max Starp, a physics student with a strong passion for STEM and a drive to push the boundaries of technology. Through internships and hands-on experience in physics, IT, and data analysis, I’ve developed both a solid technical foundation and a curiosity for solving complex problems. My goal is to contribute to the development of quantum computers and advance our understanding of the physical principles that power them. Alongside my academic pursuits, I enjoy programming, playing handball, basketball, and the piano. As an ambitious and reliable individual, I am eager to explore new challenges and make a meaningful impact in the world of quantum computing.
