Here I am...

My name is Sima Rastayesh. I am from Iran. I passed my bachelor and master in energy engineering in Science and Research of Tehran branch Azad University. My background is related to the field of risk and reliability engineering. I choose this position to apply as it was within the area of my expertise. I liked this position because I was interested to gain experience about wind turbines and use my background on that.
I am now happy to work with 12 ESR, which I feel they are more like my friends rather than colleagues. We had a great time together in Berlin and with some of them in Aalborg where I am now living.

Visiting wind turbine structure was one of my best event life, which I do not forget it. Hearing the sound of wind turbine from a short distance and even touch that with accompany of my supervisor and ESR9 and ESR12 was great.

I had a short presentation in our university which you can see the whole idea of my project on it.



I have three secondments, which I expect they would have help me both for my project and for having a nice time abroad.
This PhD is part of INFRASTAR, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN Project. Secondments are planned at IFSTTAR (The French Institute of Sciences and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks) as part of the external collaboration
1st Secondment at IFSTTAR (France) for a period of two months mostly from August 2017 to September 2017.
2nd secondment at PHIMECA (France) for a period of two months from April 2018 to June 2018.
3rd secondment at COWI (Denmark) for a period of one month in August 2018

Last INFRASTAR training at Aalborg University

Image
Summer2018, with its wonderful weather which was rare in Denmark, was fantastic! We were the host of last INFARASTAR training at Aalborg University where I am studying there. This time, it was a bit different as it was the midterm review meeting as well as usual presentations.  All ESRs were supposed to give a presentation about their own Ph.D. and the reviewer from the Research Executive Agency gave us her comments.  Among all presentations, which each of them had their own value, a presentation by  Christian Clergue was so practical from my point of view, as we have learned how we should write a good CV, how we should manage an interview and many other skills to get a new job after Ph.D.  I hope in our last gathering in the last Implementation Day, we could again have the opportunity to know more tips to apply for a new job by a presentation as it will be near the end of Ph.D. of most of us and would be useful. Same as others, I also have presented my Ph.D. and my findings

Second project training at EPFL

One of the advantages of our project is that we have three trainings, which will help each ESR in their project, as they will gain a lot of knowledge related to their Ph.D. topic there. We have three work packages in our project; it is organized like that we will be familiar with the whole idea of each package during training as well as our own package. Each ESR has to give a presentation about their work to let others know about their progress and topic of their Ph.D. It is a good opportunity to find an idea to cooperate with each other. This time we had time to work on a group on a topic with another ESR from a different work package. I had cooperation with another ESR at IFSTTAR where I have a secondment there, Mariia Nesterova (ESR6). During training, besides all the lectures, there was another lecture or I can say another activity held by a guy from industry which was so beneficial for all of us to learn how a good team working can be and how we can improve it.
