8. The collaboration with the people at INFN in Pisa & at Physics Dpt in AUTH during the two secondments was more than fruitful Trainings on VHDL design & on Embedded Systems, as well as my work on the HIT chip development was a perfect opportunity to boost up my Embedded Systems design knowledge & experience. Great chance to widen my business network, both in academia and private sector.
