Sharing
Education is a grand new thing for me, as my career is mainly science-based. I can remember the hard times when I received the pre-reading at the first time. I cannot comprehend the deep meaning of the words, as I have not received training in education. But I am very lucky to have the lovely classmates and patient supervisors to accompany through this journal. Finally, I can go through all the challenges and come to this stage. I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my supervisors Professor William Browne and Dr. Helen Manchester for their guidance and patience.
