Priyanka Ramaswamy
North Carolina A&T State University, USA
The conference was a tremendous experience for me, as it was my first appearance as an invited speaker at an international forum. I found the conference team very friendly and helpful. The conference topics were of great interest to me. The small size of the meeting allowed me to listen to all the lectures and make interesting acquaintances. At large international conferences, lectures are often presented in panels, making it impossible to attend all of them.
Furthermore, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the meeting made me feel very welcome, for which I thank the organizers and all the participants.
