On the 24th July, eight HDR students delivered conference-style presentations from their PhDs to an in-person and online audience. The showcase provided HDR students with an opportunity to receive objective and collegiate feedback on their research.
The showcase was opened by Professor Sharon Christensen, and included a presentation by Associate Professor Fiona McDonald.
HDR co-ordinator Dr Sam Boyle was impressed with the quality of the presentations.
“All of the PhD presentations were astounding. The breadth and depth of the research, and the quality of the research, is all first class. ACHLR is lucky to have such a group of PhD students,” Dr Boyle said.
Dr Boyle added that Associate Professor Fiona McDonald’s presentation to the students was also wonderful.
“Her wisdom, honesty and compassion shows what a great colleague and supervisor she is.”
