Hi, my name is Marzieh and I’m an alumnus of the [EngD programme Energy & Process Technology](https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/tgs/interested-in/engd/programmes/energy-and-process-technology/).

## My project

"For the development of tires, extensive road tests are necessary. Up to date, there is no lab method and equipment to measure dry grip with a satisfying correlation with road vehicle tire performance. The goal of this project is to design equipment and a method for measuring dry grip, starting from the LAT100 (Laboratory Abrasion Tester) machine, which is commonly used for measuring abrasion and wet grip."

> “The main reason I chose the EngD was to gain tangible, practical experience in industry.”

## A tangible and practical experience within the industry

"The main reason for choosing an EngD programme was having a tangible and practical experience within the industry in addition to considering the theories behind it. The University of Twente is an international university which gave me a chance to meet international people in my field during this programme. I would absolutely recommend this two-year programme for MSc graduates who are interested in taking one step further in their educational status and directly getting involved with industries after their graduation.”

#### After graduation

Marzieh graduated in 2017. After her EngD, she continued her work at the University of Twente for a [PhD](https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/tgs/interested-in/phd/).
