In 2017, 14-year-old Hjalmar Rall, from Riebeek Kasteel in the Western Cape, pursued his dreams of becoming a scientist. His dream was to study BSc Physics at the University of Pretoria.  

Fast forward to 2021, where 18-year-old Rall is graduating with a BSc Honours in physics, cum laude, during this year’s autumn graduation season. The young star plans to continue his studies abroad.

One of Rall’s heroes is theoretical physicist and lecturer, Sidney Richard Coleman!  

We would love to have Hjalmar in studio with us one day!
