Marie Curie fellow
In 2014 I moved to Wroclaw, Poland. I got awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship to do my PhD in Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof D Robert Iskander.
Ageye
is the ITN (Initial Training Network) which gave me the chance to start my
career in eye research. I spent the following 3 years studying the shape of the
anterior eye. During that time, I had the chance to gain experience in data processing,
data analysis and also clinical tasks.
Besides the research tasks, adapting to a new culture, different language, worse weather conditions than what I was used to… was as challenging as rewarding. Polish people were always helpful and friendly to me. Without hesitation, being awarded this fellowship was a life-changing experience.
