My name is Barsha Bhattacharjee. I am participating in the online version of this course from Amsterdam, Netherlands where I am also pursuing my PhD from! You should definitely visit Amsterdam for its picturesque streets and canals, I am yet to explore the city myself too, I’ve been here for three months only. I completed my Masters in Physics from India and was also part of the 2020 edition of this course, more by accident than by choice! COVID-19 was at its peak and I had one month to produce my Master’s Thesis and this course was a life as well as thesis-saver! But I could not complete the course at that time and was still figuring out what I really wanted to do after my Masters. I was lucky enough to get accepted to a PhD programme in alignment of my Master’s work and therefore, I want to complete this course while being at the beginning of my PhD. Truly thankful to Prof. Cottenier as well as University of Ghent for putting up such a helpful course! Looking forward to working with you all 🙂 Kind Regards.
