"I got really good feedback from the audience” at PubhD Coimbra
From the PhD Programme in Mechanical Engineering, Pegah Mohammadpour, presented “Wildfire risk reduction: Emerging remote sensing data and AI". The doctoral student is part of ADAI - Association for the Development of Industrial Aerodynamics. This November 2023 edition of PubhD was special, where 3 international students walked into a bar and we spoke in English - Pegah is originally from Iran and is currently at the University of Coimbra.
Why did you decide to participate in PubhD Coimbra?
I decided to participate because I found it really interesting. It is the first time that I wanted to explain my project in a public and informal way (outside of the academic context) - that was interesting for me. Also one of the objectives of my project is to increase people’s knowledge about wildfires and how we can reduce the risk. That is why I participated and now I am very happy!
How was your experience in this edition of PubhD Coimbra?
I really loved it because I got really good feedback from the audience. I think that they understand at least the objective of my work. It was interesting to see that other people can see the practical part of the project.
Would you advise other colleagues to participate?
Yes, definitely I would recommend it!
