My visit to the ICTP as a Junior Associate was very productive. It allowed me to utilize the center’s vast and up to date scientific materials that are essential for my research. The environment is very stimulating and vibrant. My visits to the ICTP always leave an inspiration and energy that pushes me to work harder to uplift the scientific situation in my country.
