I am lucky because my RTU PhD program allows me to deepen aspects of environmental engineering, such as circular economy, life cycle thinking, and sustainability which represent the research areas that fascinate me the most.
Graduate Student Dilan Ortiz
A native of Colombia, Dilan was encouraged to study abroad. But it was the desire to be a bit different than everyone else that led Dilan from 'the Gateway to South America' to RTU. "I didn’t really want to go to places everyone goes like Spain or Germany,” he said. “Instead, I wanted something more unique and saw Latvia as a great option for that.”
