Bio: Dr. Tibor Pacher works currently as a freelancer consultant for Management and Financial Accounting processes and their support by software systems. Trained as a physicist at the Eötvös University in Budapest, his first works at the University of Heidelberg as well as during a visit at Fermilab were related to Cosmology. His PhD thesis, earned at the University of Heidelberg, dealt with a quantum chemistry topic. He worked on the ISOPHOT project for ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory at the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy as well. (See his publications list here). Countless discussions and permanent thinking on how to raise citizens’ support for credible scientific and engineering work, tied to his lifelong interest on interstellar travel and the search for life in the Universe, led him eventually to initiate peregrinus interstellar.
