Name : Ms. Barasha Deka

Experience

IIT (ISM), Dhanbad and Curtin University, Australia : I am Barasha Deka, a collaborative Ph.D student of IIT (ISM), Dhanbad and Curtin University, Australia. I joined Ph.D in the year 2017 and I stayed at Curtin University for the duration from November, 2019 to July, 2021. I am highly benefitted by joining the prestigious collaborative Doctoral Programme as it has given me a brief exposure to the international research community and a world-class research facility. Curtin University administration and my supervisors there helped me grow in and out by providing all the necessary facilities, safety trainings, research funds to attend conferences and seminars and also other funds to purchase my research consumables. Regular progress meetings conducted by my supervisors boosted my confidence to discuss my ideas and their encouragement have always been the backbone of my research output. Also, I have to mention the excellent support provided to me by my research group members from all over the world. At last, I would say that the high-quality research facilities, the opportunities to explore and participate in various events, the research group members from all over the world, the tremendous support from the supervisors and the vibrant campus of Curtin University helped me achieve my research objectives and aim.
