“This is an interesting experience for me. The topic of the contest is especially relevant at the moment. The idea of the project is to draw attention to the artificial factors affecting the health of people and the ecology of the urban area as a whole, which is significant to many people. In a fairly short time, I managed to put the idea into practice with high quality. In many respects, this was possible due to the cooperation with Mikhail Kanavtsev, my mentor, and teachers of the Department of Management and Quality Systems.”
