I had some of the best times of my research career at the IIIA. Spending hours with Carles, Juan, Andrea, and Lluis on models and algorithms was great fun. I really learnt to be a team player and to broaden my views. Cooking an Emu biriani for the team was probably the climax of my time there!
I have very fond memories of my PhD at the IIIA. I learned a lot and made great friends in a very supporting environment. The "costellades" at Mas Puig and the Christmas concerts were incredible!
My PhD at IIIA was foundational for me because I studied with people who are the international leaders in AI and formal methods. Beyond this, I found IIIA inspiring as a model of team building for research.
