Dedication to learning
As for his academic career, he warns: whenever you are working on any academic projects, please give all of yourself. “Create your challenges no matter what you are learning. You can learn a lot at the university, but you always have to move forward”, he adds.
Graduated in 1997, Goldschmidt is grateful for the support and the things he learned at the then-Faculty of Informatics. “Even after several years after I finished my degree, I am still in contact with some professors. Therefore, whenever I return to Porto Alegre I try to find some time to visit the Campus. I am proud to see how the university has evolved and I think it can evolve further,” he adds.
