Rauan Kaldybaev
Bio
Rauan is a member of the Kazakhstan National Physics Team. He has always been a curious person, and had started dreaming of becoming a scientist from as young as four years old. (He also considered being a fireman, a musician or an engineer but eventually deemed science more exciting.) Later on, he chose to focus on physics and computer science as the two disciplines most interesting to him. As hobbies, he grows cacti, engages in various engineering projects, rides bicycle and walks, both as exercise and as a meditation. In winter, he likes to watch sunrises and sunsets. Last but not least, he is a huge lover of music; his favorite genres are progressive rock, Romantic-era music and jazz.
