Jan Jedryszek

Jan Jedryszek is a PhD student in Physics at the Technical University of Munich and the Max Planck School Matter-to-Life. He began his scientific journey with a bachelor's in neuroscience, drawn to emergent intelligence and natural computing, before earning a master’s in Molecular Systems Chemistry and Engineering from Heidelberg University. Jan has worked at the European Space Agency on bio-mining technologies. His PhD research explores synthetic morphogenesis—how cells grow into organisms, and how we might teach other forms of matter, like synthetic cells, to communicate and self-organize like living systems. He laughs at his own jokes. His favorite authors are Borges, Calvino and Lem.
