The Parkville Postgraduate Association (PPA) at Monash University held its 18th Annual Graduate Research Symposium yesterday. The main focus of the Symposium is to give graduate research students a platform to showcase their current research whilst improving their public speaking and presentation skills in the form of oral and poster presentations. The annual event provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about the diverse research carried out at the Monash Parkville Campus.

This year, CFBD members were particularly successful at the event: PhD Candidate Jeyan Osman won the People’s Choice Oral Presentation Award worth $150, PhD Candidate Jason Pun received the Oral Presentation Encouragement Award ($100) and PhD Candidate Imesha Hettige Most Outstanding Poster Presentation Award worth $300. Congratulations to all winners at the event!
