Sometimes doing a PhD can get tough, challenging, sometimes you have to do your best to keep the motivation. But sometimes, you get to go to a conference in Brazil.
Attending the INTERMAG 2024 conference in Rio de Janeiro, at the third year of my PhD, has been an incredible experience and a pivotal moment in my academic journey. The opportunity to engage with leading experts in the field of magnetics, exchange ideas, and broaden my network was invaluable. Presenting my work through an oral presentation and two posters allowed me to receive a wealth of feedback and new perspectives. The mix of in-depth technical sessions and the chance to connect with peers from around the world provided a fresh perspective on my work and opened doors to new collaborations.
Beyond the academic benefits, the vibrant atmosphere of Rio added a unique energy to the conference. The mix of professional development and the chance to enjoy the city’s unique beauty made this experience a memorable and impactful part of my PhD journey.
