'academic' subjects all the way through school. Since university, I have worked as amarket and social researcher. In my initial role I organised research at internationalconferences and was called on for ad hoc work in the European arm of the companybecause of my language skills. Later, I used my languages for international accounts andI have little doubt this made the nature of my work more interesting. My currentemployment focuses on the UK arena, but I imagine languages and a broad educationmay prove a useful plus in an increasingly competitive job market.Spyros (Frankfurt)At the European School in Frankfurt, I studied English as my first language and Frenchas my second. Due to my strong interest in science and maths, I was also able tocomplement my language lessons with 8-hour maths as well as 4-hour physics,chemistry and biology. This well-balanced approach to my education has served meextremely well throughout the years following my graduation by allowing me to easilyadapt to new countries and to quickly form both personal and professional relationshipswith people from all over the world. Outside of the classroom, the European Schoolsoffered me numerous opportunities to explore alternative interests: I was Vice-Presidentof the European School-wide Pupils' Committee (Conseil Superieure des Eleves), 3rd-Prize Winner of the European School Science Symposium (ESSS), Head of State for theUK at the Model European Council (MEC) and 3rd-Prize Winner in Basketball atEuroSport. Since completing my M.Eng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering atImperial College London, I have gone on to pursue a Ph.D at the Georgia Institute ofTechnology in the USA, where my research focuses developing micro-scale biomedicalsensing platforms with wireless communications. The communication skills and openmindedattitude that I developed while at the European Schools have served me verywell as both a researcher and a teacher. Moreover, in line with the international spiritpromoted at the European Schools, I was recently awarded a competitive fellowship bythe U.S. National Science Foundation to spend two months in Taiwan in order tocollaborate with expert scientists in my field.26
