Why did you choose to do a PhD?
Yes, absolutely. It is what I have always wanted to do. I enjoy the intense and prolonged thinking processes and mental gymnastics that goes into a PhD.
Why did you choose to do graduate education at NUS? If you received offers from other universities, why did you pick NUS?
Without a doubt! 4 years as an undergrad is never enough to experience NUS, why not add another 4 more! With that, you have a good foundation to go anywhere in the world.
On hindsight, would you have chosen the same research supervisor for your graduate programme?
Shazib Pervaiz. I would have chosen him again and again. To me, a PhD supervisor should go beyond getting you your degree and your manuscripts published, and really be interested in you as a human being, invest in your life, and do life with you. Shazib is all that and more.
