I have always been fascinated by the latest technology and the opportunities it presents. It was my dream to work on the latest technologies to help make the world a better place and when the opportunity was presented to me, I wanted to join immediately. This project would enable me to work in a multicultural environment and involve in the latest research and work with a highly qualified team of researchers in Europe. I believe Immersive technologies and immersive headsets will give the next future to the entire world to think broader without limitations. I am keen on technology as I think immersive technologies is next door to the world not only for designers as well as engineers and scientists to make this world easier. My goal is to provide next level vision to immersive technologies which can eliminate the difference between the real world and the virtual world.

What kind of expectations do you have for your research project and network training?

Firstly, I am expecting to complete the expectations of my project and provide deliverables on time. The project and the task assigned to me should enhance my research skills, in addition to enhancing my way of thinking, management skills. At the end of this project, I can run and conduct a research project individually.
