My Thesis in 180 Seconds (MT180) is an international science communication competition where each PhD candidate has 3 minutes to present their research topic to a non-specialist audience, with a single slide.
The Challenge
Summarizing years of astrophotonics research — interferometric components, kernel-nulling, exoplanet detection — into a clear, engaging and accessible talk in just 180 seconds.
Skills Involved
- Synthesizing and popularizing complex scientific concepts
- Public speaking and stage presence
- Impactful visual design (a single slide)
