I also like taking part in various activities, such as being a Postgraduate Research (PGR) Representative and co-chairing the HUB committee in the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering to ensure the quality of both the physical and social environment in our workplace.

A day in the life of a PhD student can be quite busy! An ordinary day generally includes work for our research, which could be reading, writing, attending training, or even “just” thinking. In addition to our research, some of us are involved in extracurricular activities with other researchers. Many of us also like going to the gym, others prefer enjoying a coffee with fellow researchers on campus, or joining yoga or swimming classes at the end of the day.
