My name is Marko Stamenkovic and I am 25 years old. I recently achieved my Master of Science in High Energy Physics at the EPFL within the LPHE group. During my studies, I had the opportunity to work on various particle physics projects. My Master thesis was focused on the search for new physics in rare charm decays.
