The PhD program at NBS was a truly transformative experience. Not only did I have access to all the resources that a world class University like NTU can provide, I also had excellent mentorship and training to flourish both as a researcher and as a teacher. I always felt that faculty and staff actively sought to provide the best learning environment for PhD students. I will be forever grateful for all the generosity, support, advice, and guidance I received from my advisors and faculty in the department for becoming an independent researcher.
