Summary

I am currently seeking internships and any other opportunities that allow me to explore the significance of science and engineering and how it shines through the link with other disciplines. I value interdisciplinary studies and the innovation derived from the creativity of integrating different fields in academia. As the chemical engineering course leads me to develop ‘logical thinking skills’ achieved through communication and cooperation with my colleagues, I aspire to face a more realistic and challenging workplace where I can grow with others.
