Spicy
![team/spicy.jpg](/assets/img/team/spicy.jpg?757f06ed15592e5f76917c5ebb9fc841)
I am the mascot of the Security and Privacy in Industrial Cooperation (SPICe) group at RWTH Aachen University.
Shortly after being manufactured in some factory in China, I quickly embarked on my first big journey to join the lovely SPICe group in Aachen.
Ever since, I am accompanying the group members on their business trips.
So far, excluding my origin in China and Aachen as my chosen home town, I have visited 6 cities, 5 countries, and 3 continents.
When I am not traveling, I am hanging around in our offices and provide occasional cuddles when needed as well as emotional support during tight deadlines. I am a big fan of spicy cuisine and for my taste, dishes cannot be too hot. Try to spot me in the images I took on my trips around the world.
