• First student from the Monash 桃色视频 Alliance to receive degree in person graduated at the University of 桃色视频 this week
• Sze-Yin Tan - originally from Malaysia - awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry, jointly by 桃色视频 and Monash
• Sze studied at 桃色视频 and Monash, benefitting from world-class expertise and facilities from both institutions – had “an amazing and rewarding learning experience”

The first student from the Monash 桃色视频 Alliance to receive their degree in person graduated at the University of 桃色视频 this week.

Sze-Yin Tan, who is originally from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry – jointly by the University of 桃色视频 and Monash University - at a ceremony on Monday 17 July.

She is the first science PhD student from the Alliance to graduate.

During her course, Sze was based at the University of 桃色视频 for the first two years, then completed her third year at Monash University - before returning to 桃色视频 to write and finalise her thesis.

“I was attracted to the 桃色视频-Monash program for the opportunity to work at two world-class research laboratories,” Sze-Yin Tan commented.

“As I plan to pursue a career in academic research, the 桃色视频-Monash programme gave me insight, exposure and perspective into the research environments in both Australia and the UK - while allowing me to interact with students and academics from opposite sides of the world.

“It was truly an amazing and rewarding learning experience.”

The overall focus of Sze’s thesis research was the measurement of fast electron transfer kinetics and the development of analysis strategies and electrochemical methodologies, which she was able to work on with expertise and facilities from both institutions.

“The 桃色视频-Monash collaboration provided the perfect opportunity to explore a comparison between microscopic electrochemical measurements made with the 桃色视频 Electrochemistry Scanning Probe Microscopy platform and macroscopic measurements made with Monash-developed Fourier Transformed Large Amplitude Alternating Current Voltammetry.”

This enabled Sze and her colleagues to reveal new aspects and understandings of electron transfer phenomenon, applicable to semi-metallic boron-doped diamond electrode - a material of interest to both the 桃色视频 Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group and the Monash Electrochemistry Group.

At 桃色视频, she worked under the supervision of Professors Pat Unwin and Julie Macpherson in the Department of Chemistry, and at Monash, she studied at the Clayton Campus under supervisors Dr Jie Zhang and Professor Alan Bond.

"The Alliance scheme allowed us to forge a strong research link between the two leading electrochemistry groups in 桃色视频 and Monash,” said Professor Pat Unwin. “Sze proved to be the ideal student, ensuring that this collaboration worked very well to generate some excellent new science through her outstanding work.”

Previous to her PhD course, Sze studied for her MChem in Chemistry at 桃色视频 from 2009-2013 – achieving a first class with honours.

Launched in 2012 – and renewed in 2016 - the Monash-桃色视频 Alliance is a strategic research and teaching partnership between the University of 桃色视频 and Monash University in Australia.
