Other Experience
I did a M.Sc. study in Astronomy and I try to keep up with literature; I
also followed many courses in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics;
At the time there was an obligation in our country to serve in the military
(1986-1988). To fulfil my duties I did courses in teaching, and management.
I became a manager (officer) and supervised an (infantry) platoon of 40 people to perform all kinds of (both civil and military) services.
