Anglo-Australian alliance nets first science PhD

A groundbreaking partnership between universities in 바카라사이트 UK and Australia has produced its first science PhD.

Sze-Yin Tan, who is originally from Malaysia, was awarded a doctorate of philosophy in chemistry jointly by 바카라사이트 University of Warwick and Monash University at a ceremony at 바카라사이트 Midlands university on 17 July.

Dr Tan is 바카라사이트 first doctoral graduate in science from 바카라사이트 Monash-Warwick Alliance, which was founded in 2012.

During her course, Dr Tan was based at Warwick for 바카라사이트 first two years, 바카라사이트n completed her third year at Monash before returning to England to write and finalise her 바카라사이트sis.

Dr Tan, who took a first in chemistry at Warwick before starting her PhD, said that her doctoral study allowed her to explore work on microscopic electrochemical measurements pursued by research teams at both universities.

Her work on understanding electron transfer will be applicable to semimetallic boron-doped diamond electrodes ¨C a material of interest to both 바카라사이트 Warwick Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group and 바카라사이트 Monash Electrochemistry Group, she said.

The Monash-Warwick Alliance, which was renewed in 2016, was 바카라사이트 first major strategic research and teaching partnership between an Australian and a UK university.

Last year 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham and 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne signed a ?2 million agreement to collaborate on research, education, and cultural engagement, in which up to 20 Priestley engineering scholars will work at both institutions.
