Transportation Research Symposium(TRS)@Rotterdam
Krittanai(D2), Kota(M1), and Miyu(M1) attended the Transportation Research Symposium (TRS), a four-day academic conference held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Having two fellow lab members there helped me ease my nerves, especially since it was my first time presenting at a conference.
Preparing the poster was more challenging than I expected. Deciding what information to include and how to lay it out visually took a lot of thought. During the presentation, I realized that simply standing by the poster and hoping people would stop by wasn’t enough. Attracting interest required me to take the initiative and actively engage in conversation, which was a valuable lesson.I had a great time connecting with researchers from around the world. Their diverse perspectives and work inspired me in many ways. Outside the conference, I also enjoyed exploring the city and soaking in the local atmosphere. It was my first time in Europe, and the experience was both refreshing and memorable.
