I enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of my research, which allowed me to merge concepts from robotics, cybersecurity, and disaster management. It was fulfilling to see how theoretical frameworks could translate into practical solutions for real-world challenges. I also appreciated the opportunity to work independently, which enhanced my critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
What I wish was different
I wish I had access to more resources, such as advanced tools or datasets, to simulate real-world disaster scenarios more effectively. Additionally, collaborating with professionals from disaster response organizations could have provided valuable insights to refine my approach and validate my findings.
Advice
Don’t hesitate to explore beyond your discipline. Tackling complex challenges often requires drawing from multiple fields and perspectives. Stay curious, ask questions, and seek feedback, it’s through this process that innovative solutions emerge and meaningful impact is made.
