About

Hi, I'm Ermuun Battulga. I'm on a gap year in Mongolia, and I've spent the last few years in the world of physics olympiads.

International Physics OlympiadSilver medal
Asian Physics OlympiadBronze medal
Based inMongolia

But the medals were never really the point. I've been curious about why things work the way they do, and physics was always the answer. I believe everyone should stay curious about the world around them. Physics is everywhere and belongs to all of us, not just scientists. This site and my newsletter are my way of sharing that curiosity.
