Watch Celebrating Prof Mohan Edirisinghe's 50th PhD student - Hamta Majd on YouTube.

My PhD journey has been one of my life's most special, challenging and rewarding experiences. Focusing on the development of core-sheath polymeric fibres for biomedical applications, my research aimed to address critical healthcare challenges such as efficient drug delivery, wound healing and tissue engineering by utilising the innovative pressurised spinning technique.

Today has been a very joyous landmark day for me. Soon-to-be-Dr Majd passed her PhD viva and became the 50th PhD student I have supervised to graduation as Primary Supervisor at UCL Mechanical Engineering. This tally includes 22 females and 28 males, likely to be a UCL record! I am deeply grateful to many in the department and UCL for helping me reach this milestone... and beyond.
