YOUNG RESEARCHERS AWARDS 2024: Ana Takahashi

The CICECO YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARDS (YRA) is a recognition from Aveiro Institute of Materials that highlights the excellence of the CICECO junior researchers. YRA episodes are more than that, and they explore that being a scientist goes beyond the research itself.

Let's learn a little more about each winner of the 2024 edition.

Ana Takahashi has international experience and she counts on research at Universidade Estadual Paulista (Brazil), Tokyo University of Agriculture (Japan) and Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Currently, Ana researches alternative solvents for bioactive compounds and plastic recycling.

The best advice?

Choose for yourself what you want to do and don't be afraid to make mistakes—we learn through mistakes. Another important thing: if you have the opportunity, work abroad! Don’t do your entire PhD without traveling and gaining experience outside your university, preferably internationally. It will help you grow both professionally and personally!
