1. UK university academic (on sabbatical, consulting and adapting!)
2. Wanted to try something different... last software engineer post was 2010. I became very interested in Evolutionary Computation, so I went for a sponsored PhD position.
- zffr 6y agoDid you have a background in research before doing the PhD program?
- shahinrostami 6y agoNo real research experience until the PhD programme. I did run a blog where I posted about papers I found interesting in the domain, but I hadn't published!
- plumeria 6y agoIs a sponsored PhD like an industrial PhD?
- shahinrostami 6y agoSorry, lacking sleep and wasn't clear! I didn't mean an industry-sponsored PhD - I meant a fully funded PhD, e.g.: These add a non-repayable, tax-free maintenance grant known as a 'stipend'. In 2018/19 this is worth a minimum of £14,777 and it can be used towards living costs. https://www.prospects.ac.uk/postgraduate-study/phd-study/phd-studentships
