I presented a summary of my PhD research at the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership (SCDTP) Final Year Conference 2025. The annual final year conference highlights the work done by final-year PhD students funded by the SCDTP across the 4 partner institutions (Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and Brighton). This year we gathered in the Portsmouth guildhall for the conference and continued on to a community dinner afterwards. It was a great day catching up with everyone and learning about everyone else’s research journeys, especially my MSc cohort with whom I began my postgraduate studies!
