Massayan's first encounter with snow

Massayan has always dreamed of studying in Germany. Not only because he loves the German Bundesliga and is a football fan, but also because it is home to world-class life sciences and engineering universities and has the kind of multicultural environment  and ancient history that he loves. Another thing he was keen to experience was the snow. Massayan loves the cleanliness of Pfarrkirchen and its snowy winters.

He was thrilled to be accepted at the ECRI, where he enjoys the qualified lecturers, the welcoming atmosphere and the equality among students from all over the world. For him, ECRI stands for faith, confidence and compassion. Massayan´s ability to push his mind to solve problems led him to choose engineering for his bachelor´s degree. He is very ambitious and plans to complete his Master´s and PhD in the US before he is 35.

Despite his plans to stay abroad, he loves and misses African cuisine, especially tobogee and palm butter. He could not find the ingredients for these dishes in Pfarrkirchen, but he is a good cook and has recreated Red Oil Potato Greens.
