How I Spent My Time In Spring 2026

How I spent my time in Spring 2026

As always at the end of the semester, I check the breakdown of my time. Below, you can find the breakdown. I traveled quite some: to Sweden in February, two weeks to Delft and Denmark in April, and then two weeks to Brazil in May. I worked on a good number of proposals, and -more than anything- got used to my new role at university. The overall stats are not very pretty – serious overwork and all that (I have essentially already worked a full year and it’s just May). I’m transitioning out of tasks while I get the new ones already on me, so these months have been intense.

Here’s the breakdown of this semester:

  • Decanato de Investigación: 22.25%
  • Conferences: 15.87%
  • Research proposals: 13.08%
