ABOUT ME

I am Priscila de Azevedo Drummond, Brazilian graduate student. It gives me a sense of achievement being able to combine Engineering models with social problems in my research.  I am passionate about a lot of topics and it is nice knowing that my research has a broad spectrum as well as depth. In my personal life, I love reading, drawing and talking to my friends. I am always up to listen to a new story. Also, sports are a big part of my life. Soccer, basket, volley, roller derby, and triathlon are my favorites to watch or practice.

“Perhaps the immobility of the things that surround us is forced upon them by our conviction that they are themselves, and not anything else, and by the immobility of our conceptions of them.”
