Three Minute Thesis Faculty finalists

The Faculty heat of the 3MT competition was held earlier this month where 11 PhD students had just 180 seconds to explain their thesis.

The presentations showcased the diverse range of research being undertaken throughout the faculty, from mathematical algorithms to feral animal sterilization.

The four finalists from the faculty who will progress to the University finals next month are, pictured above from left to right, Sing Pei Tan from SELS, Michael Glenn from SELS, Alan Lee from MAPS and Sally Hall from SELS.

The University finals will take place on Friday July 26 from 10am in the Richardson Wing Nursing Theatre RW149.

Vincent Candrawinata from SELS won last year’s University Three Minute Thesis and represented Newcastle at the Trans-Tasman semi-finals held at the University of Queensland.
