I’ve successfully settled in at Stanford for my PhD and am very excited about my new life in California!
and am very excited about my new life in California! I was invited to Hannover Messe 2024 in Germany , the world’s leading industrial tech fair! It was a great opportunity to explore innovations and connect with experts in the energy sector.
