PhD Profile
"Undertaking a collaborative PhD at CES ranks as one of the most rewarding endeavours that I have undertaken. The scale of support - and the many interesting, challenging and insightful discussions with my supervisor - greatly benefited both my academic research and my professional work. I am extremely pleased that I chose to conduct my PhD with CES."
