2019 - 2019Summer School (RawD Trip 2019) Mining and Metallurgy of Copper 100% Efficiency in Online TestsThe summer school was hosted in Krakow, Poland and it had a duration of two weeks. It was focused on the life circle of copper, from excavation and mining until the final forming, including a plethora of technical visits in the related industrial facilities. There were 45 students from across Europe. Finally, I was invited to talk about my experience at the RawD Trip at the "4th Greek Community Dialogue" organized by the EIT Raw Materials.Duration: 2 Weeks

A classmate of mine and I were tasked to organise the living arrangments and partially the timetables and coordinate the student group. Those goals were met since we did not exceed the budget and we arrived in time for each visit.-I presented my thesis, titled "Simulation of texture and microstructure of the AA - 5182 during hot rolling"*, in Sheffield's 2020 (online) student conference on metallic materials.
