Research stay at Rice University 2018-19
Published:
Since the very beginning of my Ph.D. adventure, I always bore in mind the wish of experiencing a research stay abroad. I had several reasons to think that way: e.g., working with an external top research group, leaving the comfort zone for few months, improving my English communication skills, visiting new places, meeting interesting people, enjoying new cultures, among others. That aspiration came true as my 2nd Ph.D. year finished, once Rice University (Houston, TX, U.S.) accepted me as a visiting researcher. After a lot of tedious bureaucracy, including a visit to the U.S. embassy in Madrid (and El Prado as well), I got my VISA for entering the country.
