Meet Samira

About myself 

I am an open-eyed person, looking at all around me with the intention of not missing anything. I would like to be when and where the most beautiful things happen: when the flowers buds are just appearing and the day in which they open their petals and give their perfume to the gardens, when the junction between Venus and Jupiter takes place and their light can be seen from everywhere, especially through the window while having a beer with my love. I like science as much as I like to cook, I like music as such as I love to dance and one day, I would love to play an instrument.


   
    Why did you decide to study at Unipd?    

I knew about Padova University while I was studying Electronics engineering in Venezuela, some students who had worked with me in the laboratory where I was teaching assistant had gone to Padova to study in the field of nuclear physics. That was the only reference I had from the university. Some years later I was looking for a master degree in control systems and Padova appeared again, this time in the area I was looking for. I did not doubt about applying. It was not possible for me to study abroad without a scholarship, then two opportunities came to me, it was written I should come to Padova.
The Department of Information Engineering offers really interesting courses, given by passionate teachers, what should I expect? They are Italians. The master degree I chose already existed but in Italian and the year I enrolled was the first one thought in English, then there were far more Italians than international students. This was a great opportunity to be involved effectively within the Italian culture, language and way of life.

   
    A day in the life of a SGSS student. What are the activities of the Galilean School?    

As a Galileian student I should live in the same students residence with all the rest of students, that was actually fun. We used to have lunch and dinner together, during the weekends it was nice to share some meals, specially those days when missing home so bad. The study rooms were a scape valve when we were having lectures from our rooms because the covid was around, we were distanced apart but at least sharing the same space.

   
    What advice would you give to potential students thinking of studying abroad in Italy?    

The very first thing I would say to someone thinking about studying abroad is, enjoy the trip and above all be flexible. Things might not be as expected, they might be better than thought.
