My focus on combining theory with its practical applications will be an asset to my class. My knowledge base, skills, experience and interest for research will make me a great contribution to ANU.

Having the guidance of eminent researchers to guide me, I am certain that I will be able to achieve my goals and bring a great contribution to the institution and community I belong
