My Experience

Sofie, 26, is a master’s student in Biomedical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). She is currently working as a student assistant at WS Audiology. She completed her bachelor’s thesis at DRCMR.

“In the spring of 2023, I did my bachelor’s thesis on Quantification of GABA signal changes detected by edited functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy during peripheral nerve stimulation in collaboration with DRCMR.

I first learned about DRCMR through a project day at my university, and I immediately knew it was the right place for me to write my bachelor thesis. At DRCMR a lot of interesting research is conducted within various fields of neuroscience, and the skilled staff has a wide range of academic backgrounds. Given my strong interest in neuroscience and data analysis, as well as my desire to contribute to meaningful research, joining DRCMR provided an excellent opportunity to develop my skills.

Since the bachelor thesis was my first large project at the university, doing research was new to me. However, I had two very dedicated and supportive supervisors who guided me through the process. Additionally, I worked in an office shared with other BA and MS students, so I always had someone to discuss academic - as well as social - topics with. Generally, all my colleagues were very welcoming, and I felt included in the social community even though I was only present 1-2 days a week.

During my time at DRCMR, I gained invaluable knowledge, not only in terms of academic and technical skills, but also in developing creative and critical thinking approaches essential for innovative research."
