Future plans:

I want to continue in vision and multisensory research. The next step would be to have some post-doctoral experience in different labs around the world to gain some more experience and knowledge of the field.

My NextGenVis experience:

NextGenVis was a truly played a very important role in expanding my horizons academically and also personally. As a non-European, my true journey in Europe started with understanding the dynamic academia of the land, which is certainly through the eyes of NextGenVis. Opportunity to learn from the best in the fields and understanding different working styles through secondments, inspired me to have higher goals in academia.
