Experience & Awards
Awards
On April 2018 'la Caixa' Foundation (Fundación Bancaria "la Caixa") awarded 55 fellowships for postgraduate studies at universities in North America and in the Asia-Pacific zone. I am very happy to say that I am one of the 55 lucky ones. This fellowship will enable me to start studying at MIT all expenses paid. I am very proud and thankful for the trust that 'la Caixa' has placed on me and the way the Foundation has empowered me for my future, as it has empowered thousands of excellent Spanish scholars for over 30 years. The fellowships were given by the kings of Spain. Personally, I couldn't resist the opportunity to exchange a few sentences with his majesty king Felipe, great king even better person. |
