Alexandros Senteris-2016 Undergraduate Scholarship Recipient
Alexandros
Senteris is now entering his senior year of studies at the department of
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in National Technical
University of Athens. He has been an active member of SNAME-NTUA since
2013 and elected as secretary/treasurer of SNAME-NTUA student section
for 2014-2015. He currently serves as the student chair of SNAME-NTUA
Greek student section. In the past years, Alexandros interned with
reputable employers of the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. He
has completed a useful internship in Hellenic coast guard Ships
Inspection and during 2015 he worked in a shipping company. He considers
both o these internships incredibly influential in his development as
an engineer. He also recognised the role that SNAME plays in his
professional advancement.
''Since
the early years of my studies I am involved in SNAME NTUA, firstly as
a member, attending many presentations and events. From that day
until now, I served twice, as an officer of our student section
trying to do my best to help and evolve our section. As I enter my
senior year of undergraduate studies, my perspective on the marine
field has changed a lot, with SNAME’s activities playing a big role
in understanding our industry and broaden my view on our profession.
This year’s SNAME Maritime Convention was special for me for an
extra reason, as I was honored to receive the Undergraduate
Scholarship Award. Being awarded by a society of distinguished
individuals, like SNAME, is of great importance. SNAME has been a
very valuable source of knowledge, as a result, I would like to thank
SNAME for helping me to evolve my character and I recommend to any
young marine engineer or naval architect to become an active member
of our society and make use of the variety of privileges offered by
it.''
