EPCC PhD student poster presentations
28 March 2025
This month we invited our PhD students to present their work to EPCC staff.
As the list below demonstrates, a wide variety of interesting projects were presented. To read about the students' work in depth, see the PhD student profiles on our Training and Education site.
Lilin Yu PhD candidate, EPCCIt’s fascinating to see the wide range of research topics presented—there’s so much potential for collaboration with fellow students who bring different skill sets to the table. I also find it incredibly motivating when others show interest in my research. The lightning talks were my favourite part; they felt like delightful “starters” before the main feast.
