Working from home

Philip's work continues at full steam during the COVID-19 pandemic. From his home office, pictured below, he is working on his research, writing papers, teaching via Zoom, attending virtual meetings, supervising his students and participating in the life of Monash University. Take care and see you on the other side!

Christmas Party 2018

In December 2018, Philip hosted the annual Christmas BBQ for his colleagues and students, and their families. It was a festive occasion marking the end of another busy and productive year. Two guests at the party had recently submitted their PhD theses (hurray!), one was heading to Belgium to start a new post-doc position, job offers were in the pipeline, and everyone was looking forward to a holiday. There was lots to discuss and celebrate!

Thanks to everyone who contributed delicious food to the meal, gifts, and great company throughout the year.
