Get ready for a riveting conversation with Eduardo Alvarez Rocha, a Masters student at the University of Alberta, who took a winding road from Mexico City to Canada. Eduardo's journey is one of passion, resilience, and unexpected turns, including a love for mathematics nurtured by his grandfather, and financial struggles during his high school years, that led him to discover an entirely new field - Welding! But that's not all, from a Welder to an Engineer, Eduardo's story takes us on a fascinating exploration of his research, which merges welding and machine learning. Tune in for a stirring dialogue on embracing challenges, pursuing passion, and the infinite possibilities that come with relentless determination.
