Fiona's Story
Fiona worked on developing capabilities for autonomous docking.
“Portugal is a beautiful country with rich history and delicious food, but what truly stood out from this summer was the people. My colleagues in INESCTEC were very supportive whenever I needed help or someone to brainstorm with. The Portuguese taking hosting people very seriously: from hikes to road trips to cooking the traditional francesinha from scratch, there was never a dull moment here. Porto feels like a second home, and I can’t wait to come back!”Fiona Gillespie '23
