I came to study in Melbourne and in Geelong because of this fantastic opportunity to start a collaboration between Deakin University and the CSIRO to do a PhD. It was a multidisciplinary project which I really enjoy and I think it will get a lot of results in my field of work.
This award means a lot personally because it awards all my achievements over the last three years and also means a lot to my friends and family and finally as an international student. I think it represents a lot for those who would like to study in Australia, Victoria and Melbourne.
