One of my most memorable experiences was presenting my robot and research to high school students. It was a valuable opportunity to explain my work in a simple and accessible way, and it made me feel proud of the research I had accomplished.
Outside the laboratory, I have great memories of participating in the University Festival with friends I met at UTokyo, where we operated a festival stall together. I also joined the soccer team and traveled throughout Japan for tournaments, which allowed me to meet many people and discover different parts of the country.
The biggest challenges were administrative matters, such as opening a bank account, changing my residence status, and filing taxes. Managing these processes by myself was difficult because of the language barrier. Fortunately, Japanese students in my laboratory helped me through these procedures, which made everything much easier.
Campus life helped me build lasting friendships and broaden my perspective. Many of my friends had prior work experience before coming to UTokyo, and conversations with them gave me valuable insights into different career paths. Academically, I improved my Japanese language ability as well as my programming and robotics skills through coursework and laboratory research. These experiences helped me transition smoothly into my professional career.
After graduating, I returned to France and began working in the fields of Data Engineering and Data Science for a supply chain company.
Studying at UTokyo was an exciting and rewarding experience. I met amazing people, explored Japan more deeply during my two years there, and continuously challenged myself through research and engineering studies. I would highly recommend the experience to international students who are considering applying to SEUT.
