My name is Thomas Marquart and I was born in 1978 in southern Germany, close to Aschaffenburg where I finished secondary school ("Gymnasium"). I studied physics at Heidelberg University and got a masters degree ("Diplom"). During my year abroad I got in touch with the astronomy department in Uppsala, Sweden, where I later applied for and got a position as a PhD-student. In total I have now been living in Sweden for over seven years.
In my free time, I write several blogs, run a one-man company, do photography and enjoy having guests. Via networks such as HospitalityClub and CouchSurfing, I have had over a hundred guests from all over the world, staying at my place for free during the last years, and met many wonderful people.
