The interview was about a PhD position focused on using remote sensing and geographical information technologies to assess drought in semi-arid areas that are difficult to access due to political or topographical reasons. It was a relaxed and comfortable conversation, primarily aiming to gauge my interest and prior experience in this specific area.

Presentation Behavioral Technical
Applied for a PhD position on their website and got an interview with 2 professors and a researcher about two weeks later. The interview involved presenting my master's thesis and then some personal/motivation questions. A few technical questions related to my presentation, but they weren't too tough. The atmosphere was great, the interviewers were really chill and open about everything.
