Students' Showcase

Alumni Sharing

Our Ecology and Biodiversity research postgraduate students have published their work in renowned journals (such as Nature Communications and Global Change Biology) as well as attend/present at conferences worldwide (including at the British Ecological Society and the World Oyster Symposium). They are also recipients of awards (e.g. National Geographic Explorer and Women in Ocean Sciences). Upon graduation, our graduates pursue careers in academia at well-known universities (such as Stanford, Princeton, UBC, etc.).
