Doing research in the walls of underground shelters was not easy. Therefore, I was enthusiastic about the offer of development opportunities in Germany.

This was my first serious trip abroad and at the beginning, it was significantly challenging before I got used to my new life. Moreover, I had to endure separation from my family and frequent worries about relatives remaining in Ukraine. With the constant support from my colleagues and caring people around me, I was able to overcome the overall stress and to continue my studies in the new environment. Now, after some time in Germany, I feel serene, willing, and ready to concentrate on achieving much higher targets as compared to a year ago.

Now I’m working on a scientific project related to the study of graph algorithms in data transmission. According to my personal feelings, this direction is at the intersection of mathematics and programming - two major fields of great interest. Looking into the future, I strongly believe that I can contribute to the development of science and my research can be useful for Germany and Ukraine.
