Hey everyone! My name is Cassiano and, since August 2019, I am pursuing a Master’s of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation at the University of Twente. I was born and raised in Castro, a small town (in the Brazilian context, because it is almost the size of Enschede) in Southern Brazil that is home of a tiny Dutch village (Castrolanda), but in 2013 I moved to Curitiba to undertake a Bachelor of Civil Engineering, from which I graduated last year.

Здравейте! Hello guys, my name is Vladislav Avramov and I am studying for my BSc in Technical Computer Science. I am 19 years old.

I am becoming more and more convinced that every day spent here is actually meaningful and impactful. Everything about the subjects in the program is exactly as I imagined it – practical and useful.

Hello! My name is Akash Basu and I am currently a First Year Masters student of Biomedical Engineering. Being born into a family consisting of solely doctors, I was always an odd apple. Although I enjoyed the medical sciences I have always had a strong love towards numbers and mathematics. In India people either do an engineering course or become a doctor but I wanted something more, something out of the box so I decided why not merge the two fields altogether! That’s when I landed into the beautiful world of biomedical engineering and all its endless possibilities.

Hello! My name is Heni Ju. I was born and raised in a small island of Indonesia called Batam. I am currently a third year bachelor student of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Twente. I have always had a strong passion for mathematics and science since I was a kid. Engineering seems to be the best way to combine the fundamentals of logical and analytical aspects of these subjects and you can relate these to everything in life. The idea of designing something and to have the opportunity to make real differences attracted me to choose this study. My favourite thing about studying mechanical engineering at UT is that the projects offered are more involved and exciting. The university is incredible and the teachers are outstanding and passionate about their subjects. I also love the city. It’s just an amazing place to live and be a student!

Hola! My name is Luis Figueroa, I was born and raised in Tijuana, which is one of the most famous border cities in the world due to its closeness to the United States. At 18 years old I moved to Guadalajara to study a Bachelor’s in Environmental Engineering from which I graduated in 2017. After working as a teacher and in scientific research, I developed a love for geography and climate change. That is why I am currently studying the Master's program in Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation with a specialization in Natural Resource Management at the University of Twente.
