Summer Students 2023/2024

Aiden Yuen-Oye (UWA—2024 CDM Vacation Studentship); Alan Chan (ANU—2024 EQUS Summer Research Scholar); Ashley Johnson (UWA—Ad Hoc Vacation Scholar; 2022/2023 CDM Vacation Studentship); Gabi Evans (ANU—2024 EQUS Summer Research Scholar); Tim Holt (UWA—Ad Hoc Vacation Scholar); Katie Sypkes (USyd—2024 EQUS Summer Research Scholar); Evangelos Hajigabriel (UWA—Ad Hoc Vacation Scholar); Emily Waterman (UWA—2024 Ad Hoc Vacation Scholar; 2022 EQUS Summer Research Scholar); Baochen Tian (ANU—2024 EQUS Summer Research Scholar)

The QDM Lab hosted 12 Summer Students over the 2023/2024 period. We think that is a record! They were warmly welcomed at a Saturday barbeque on the Australia Day long-weekend with all the group poolside at Mike Tobar’s home.

International Pizza Day

We had one CDM Summer Studentship recipient (UWA) for 8 weeks, four EQUS Summer Studentship recipients (x3 ANU; x1 USyd) who visited for 5–6 weeks and several UWA grads and undergrads for Ad Hoc Vacation scholarships/work experience.

The time flew by for the visiting EQUS students and as a lovely gesture they treated the group to pizzas before Gabi and Alan left, and then a doughnut day for Tian and Katie’s last day! They are welcome back anytime!
