Developing an original Pioneer research topic: A Scholar's Story

Pioneer was an intensive but rewarding challenge, constantly urging me to be curious and strive for the best solution. It truly solidified my interest in engineering as the opportunity for research allowed me to gain a much better idea of work in university. The balance between following my professor’s guidance as well as freely exploring and experimenting myself was a valuable experience, pushing me out of my comfort zone as it was so different from the teaching style I was used to.

Stay curious, and in touch
