“I came to UK to do my BSc in 2012 at MDX, in my 3rd Year I got a price (MDX) for my dissertation work. I got employed as GAA after graduation and started my MPhil/PhD (skipping master degree). I finished within 3 years despite being a part-time PhD with a demanding GAA job (also got promoted to senior GAA + lab responsibilities).
I managed to get several publications and attended several conferences (national and international) during that time. After PhD I joined research group at MDX as a postdoc, working on detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater in schools during pandemic (also did some minor HPL work for MDX).
