My hobbies are travelling, cooking, baking, DIYs and more. I am an ideal dreamer, my head is grounded but my heart is always in the clouds which makes me more ambitious and I want to truly achieve something memorable in my lifetime. My principles mean more to me than money or success. The goal is as important as the way you choose to reach it. I like to do everything with a difference, hoping my identity talks through my work. I am highly motivated and driven easily, and very much laid-back and fun-loving when the time calls. I love exploring castles and ruins during my breaks and holidays.

I wake up usually at 7.30am and start around 8.30am, every day is a different day. What I have to do might change even from day to day. Evenings are free unless there are some workshops or training.

Most of the days or even weeks can just on thinking about how to solve the problems as nobody else know how to solve your problems. I spend my time reading academic papers to increase my knowledge. I also code my experiments I have to do with people. There is also a lot of time in writing down things that I have done.

I will use the prize money for STEM activities around Green AI and Sustainable AI public engagement programmes.
