behind! It's like one step or many steps behind where I think I should be. Probably that's a more general feeling because it's really hard to comprehend everything that is published, everything that is going on, at least in the whole AI field. It's challenging, but I'm sure that you have developed some personal methods to get along with this. Yes, of course, I follow a groups of scientists that are very relevant to my research and I tend to skim through their articles and know exactly where to look and how to find the things that are most relevant to my research. It doesn't feel as overwhelming as it used to be, but it still is. You have made a very interesting choice to work in a field that is very international and to continue your career in your country. Was it a deliberate decision or did it happen by chance? It was a complex decision and there are many factors in it. I studied abroad for my master's in the UK and then I came back to Romania and I was not very sure if I was going to stay here or go back. There are many aspects, both personal and professional, that enter into this decision. If you're talking on the professional side, I got the chance to be in a very good research laboratory with high standards that actually taught me what research is and to be able to do a PhD at Western European standards, let's say. That was certainly one reason that mattered in choosing to be here, because I saw that I could go to conferences, I could publish, I had the right mentorship to publish and very good colleagues to learn from in good conferences and do the research at the standards that felt similar to other countries. Of course, there's other personal reasons for choosing to stay in your country and that mattered as well. I think the decision was taken over a series of years. It was not one day.
