The journey began when I stumbled upon the AUFRANDE program calls. What caught my attention was the unique opportunity it offered—a dual-degree program spanning two countries. This was more than just an academic pursuit; it was a chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Without hesitation, I applied.

Choices that challenge us to rethink our goals and aspirations define our journeys. For me, the transition from being a Technology Engineer in the automotive industry to a PhD student in academia was one such transformative decision.
