I desperately wanted to go into engineering but in Portugal there aren't many opportunities to do that. Now I'm with Philips Research, I can do what I really want to do: research on multimedia, the stuff that our everyday culture is made of. It may have been by accident that I ended up in a traineeship, because of a chance meeting between my professor and my current boss, but it has now lead to me having a job with Philips Research that I enjoy immensely.
