We are pleased to invite you to the third instalment of 'Net-Zero Hour', hosted by the The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Net Zero Maritime Energy Solutions (N0MES).

Please feel free to forward this invitation on to any parties that will find this relevant or interesting.
Abstract:
Research is a strange game indeed. In this informal presentation I will pull together nearly 30 years of Doctoral supervisory and management experience to provide some insights into the PhD journey and what it looks like from a student (and supervisor) perspective. Along the way we will dip into the highs and lows of being a PhD student and what to expect over the next few years of your life. I will also share some of my own research highlights which started in numerical geophysics and ended up in sewage and drainage.
