Colloquio
Online interview with the group leader to learn more about the project and present my Master's thesis work. After a few days, I was invited for an on site interview: I had the opportunity to visit the lab, give a presentation to the Head of Laboratory and some team members, and get to know my future colleagues. After the presentation on my research work I had a great discussion on that with the team, and I was asked some general questions mainly meant to assess my motivation for research.
