Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) Scholarship
In 2022, I was awarded a highly competitive Erasmus Mundus scholarship (with a 3%–5% acceptance rate) to pursue my master’s degree in Europe, receiving a grant of €50,000.
Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship
In October 2020, I was selected as a preferred candidate for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship. Due to the global COVID-19 outbreak and New Zealand’s border restrictions, the scholarship offer was deferred for two years. In 2022, I received the official offer letter; however, by that time I had already accepted the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, and I respectfully declined the offer. Although I did not pursue the program, this remains an important milestone in my academic journey, as it was my first experience applying for an international scholarship, and I succeeded on my first attempt.
Sakura Science Club Member
In June 2018, I had the opportunity to join the Sakura Science Club and visit Kumamoto University in Japan. During this program, I toured the Power Systems Laboratory, attended research presentations, and had the opportunity to present my undergraduate thesis.
