"It's not just a grant but more like an extended family encouraging me to achieve my
personal, academic and professional goals. I gained valuable experience while
working with the best minds in my area of expertise. As a chemist, I have sharpened my
skills in solving environmental issues during my stay at the University of California at
Berkeley."
