Can you provide some background on your professional journey?

Before starting my PhD journey, I worked as a Freshwater Operative for The Scottish Salmon Company at Applecross for over 2 years. Subsequently, I served as a Research Assistant for 18 months at INVE Aquaculture, a biotech company in Belgium focused on aquaculture.

What influenced your decision to choose Loughborough University?

Following the conclusion of my role at INVE during the lockdown, I wanted a secure job that could significantly enhance my career prospects. The advertised PhD opportunity aligned closely with industrial research, which greatly appealed to me.
