“I see postgraduate
study as an investment
in my career. It allows
me to spend time
learning and using
the most advanced
algorithms and
techniques.”
PhD candidate Jamie is working on the
collaborative MBIE Multipurpose Orchard
Robotics Project, which is developing robots
to pollinate and harvest in kiwifruit and
apple orchards. Jamie’s part of the project is
making the robots drive around the orchards
autonomously, while they detect fruit, flowers
and other objects.
“Artificial intelligence and robotics is
advancing at such a rate that the theory
I learnt as an undergraduate 10 years
ago has been superseded. As the pace of
innovation continues to increase, further study
will become more and more important for
engineers and scientists in my field.
“The great thing about the robotics group
at the University of Auckland is that we are
working with the most advanced techniques
and applying these to problems in the real
world: it makes my work both interesting and
satisfying. Waking up and not knowing if what
I am going to do today is going to work or not
makes this research more of an adventure.
I love working with supervisors who are so
supportive and shape projects that are a
balance of practical applications and pushing
the boundaries of what is possible.
“I work with Robotics Plus, the
commercialisation partner for our research.
We believe that in several years, we could see
these robots working in the field. This could
lead to higher quality crops, less wastage
and robot exports. There is potential for the
research to be applied in other industries,
including logistics and fulfilment, transport
and healthcare. My team, Boon, who won the
2016 Velocity University Research prize, are
looking into some of these opportunities for
the best potential fit for robotics.”
Jamie Bell, PhD candidate in Computer
Systems Engineering.

“When I started, I was
the only one researching
microbiome in my
institute and I had to learn
everything: the lab and
analysis techniques. I have
my supervisor to thank, he
is the one who pushed me
hard and I learnt a lot in
my first year, and now I am
teaching these techniques
to other PhD students.”
Originally from Sri Lanka, Thilini came to the
University of Auckland after completing a
research masters at the University of Sydney.
Thilini’s work at the Liggins Institute looks at
the link between diabetes and the microbes
in the intestines of children who are born very
pre-term.
“Microbiomes are connected with everything:
obesity, diabetes, autism, your emotions,
depression. Previous research has shown that
these pre-term children have a higher risk of
developing diabetes. We now know they have
different gut microbes to full-term babies and see
links between these microbes and their functions
with insulin-resistant pathways.
“My research is part of a large, complex,
multi-disciplinary project. We not only check
the microbiome of these babies, but also their
nutrition, metabolites and other biochemical
parameters, as well as collecting information
about their physical activity. It’s team work so
you get support from other people – especially
the supervisors and other team members.
“When you’re doing a PhD, it’s very intensive, you
don’t have time to think about other jobs. Having
a scholarship helps a lot and was essential for
me to do my PhD.
“We are really lucky, we have money in our
University PReSS accounts* each year to attend
international conferences and workshops. I have
presented my results at different conferences,
including the Wellcome Trust Microbiome
Conference in Cambridge, UK, where I was
awarded the Student Oral: Best Presentation
Award. I also attended a microbiological data
analysis course at the University of Chicago,
and the PReSS account covered my flights and
accommodation.”
Thilini Jayasinghe, PhD candidate in Health
Sciences, is a recipient of a University of
Auckland Doctoral Scholarship.
*The University PReSS accounts provide an annual research
fund to cover research costs such as conference attendance
and travel (see page 35 for more information).

“I am constantly engaged
in discovering solutions
to research questions.
Finding new answers
becomes almost an
everyday habit.”
“As a bachelors and masters student I developed
good bench skills, and decided to do a PhD to
learn how to carry out research. When I began the
PhD, I realised that my previous study was mostly
about the knowns in science and a PhD is actually
about the unknowns. My days never get dull and
I’m always being challenged with new questions.”
Naz’s PhD research at the Auckland Bioengineering
Institute (ABI) uses both lab experimentation
and computational modelling to study the early
stages of heart development. Her aim is to make a
computational model of heart development using
experimental data.
“Abnormal growth of the heart during
embryogenesis causes various congenital heart
defects. Decades of studies have identified key
factors at different stages of heart development;
however, the underlying mechanisms controlling
heart development are still unclear. I hope that
my research will enable us to ultimately study
congenital heart defects in order to develop
preventative and treatment approaches.
“ABI has been the ideal place for my PhD research:
I can work in a multi-disciplinary environment
and I have the chance to combine experimental
and computational modelling approaches. I’ve
had a chance to meet amazing people at the
University of Auckland, including having the
honour of being supervised by Professor Peter
Hunter, who provided me with this great research
opportunity. The academics here are highly
skilled, internationally recognised and I have
learnt so much from them.”

“I am really grateful
to have a supportive
supervisor who has
given me freedom to
write about issues of
personal and academic
importance to me.”
Chloe’s research on the need to secure greater
legal recognition for Māori rights uses the
experiences of her own iwi, Ngāti Kahu, as a case
study.
“I have always been passionate about Māori
and indigenous rights and my work as an
undergraduate research assistant on two
Marsden projects (Onscreen Indigeneity: The
case of Māori Television; and The Claimants’
views on the Treaty Settlement Process)
influenced my decision to pursue postgraduate
studies and in particular, in the area of Māori
legal issues and on the premise that I had the
freedom to write from a more anthropological
basis for my master’s thesis.
“I am fortunate to have support and access
to materials that detail perspectives and
experiences of Ngāti Kahu in the settlement
process. This adds a unique insight into what
is a very important legal and political issue.
I hope my research can encourage further
discussion on these issues, and perhaps, how
these same ideas can be applied to Māori
legal rights generally.
“Being involved with Te Rakau Ture (Māori Law
Students Association) and Ngā Tauira Māori
(Māori Students Association) has made my
experience as a young Māori woman at the
University an enjoyable and worthwhile one.
I am also grateful for the expertise, guidance
and support of the academics here.
“I am stoked to have Dr Claire Charters as
my supervisor: a successful Māori woman
who is extremely knowledgeable in Māori
and indigenous legal issues. Claire has been
amazing and very supportive of not only my
ideas, but my journey throughout. For me,
having a Māori legal woman as my supervisor
was very important. When I explain my ideas
and my experiences, I do not feel isolated or as
if I’m an ‘other’. Being Māori also, she is part of
this worldview, she lives and breathes it every
day – she ‘gets it’.”

studying towards a Master of Laws.

11“The University offers a
vibrant environment for
learning and getting in
contact with innovative
technology.”
Ninna’s PhD research in microbial fermentation
has led to the development of technology that
produces a range of functional flours made
from fruit and vegetable by-products. The
flours are high in protein, dietary fibre and
vitamins, and use by-products (pulp, peels
and seeds) that would normally end up in
landfill.
With the support of the Velocity programme
at the University’s Centre of Innovation and
Entrepreneurship, Ninna and her supervisor,
Associate Professor Silas Villas-Boas, started
Green Spot Technologies, which has a pilot
plant for the production of the flours and is
scaling up to commercial production.
“The amount of food that is lost or wasted
every year is inconsistent with the global
population growth rate and future food
demands. Therefore, we need to challenge this
situation, and nothing is better than science
to propose solutions. My research project is all
about innovation, and the Velocity programme
was the catalyst for my development as an
entrepreneur.
“Having a PhD opens a wide range of
professional possibilities and the chance to be
involved in problem-solving projects. It is the
perfect qualification to get the set of technical
and personal skills to work in my area of
interest. Working with supportive supervisors
who are world-leaders in their field has also
played an important role in my professional
development.”

13“The best thing about
postgraduate study is the
ability to study something
you are interested
in. It requires a lot of
discipline, determination
and grit, but it’s worth it.”
After completing a Summer Research
Scholarship examining the Social Attitudes
Survey on citizenship and political attitudes
and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Clark is now
undertaking a Master of Arts in Sociology.
Clark’s masters research looks at the ways
young New Zealanders think about their own
political participation.
“Doing a summer scholarship showed me
how challenging – and therefore rewarding
– research can be. It made sense to continue
studying for a masters since I’ve always
enjoyed learning new things.
“By interviewing young people across New
Zealand, I’m getting welcome insight into the
reasons why they are reluctant to vote but
more eager to participate in other ways. One
of the most important flow-on effects of my
research is how we can get young people more
politically engaged and involved. That’s useful
not only for political parties but also policy
analysts, media and the general public.
“I intend to pursue doctoral studies in the
near future, which I think will be the ultimate
test of everything I’ve learnt over the past five
years. During my time at University, I’ve been a
Teaching Assistant and Tuākana mentor, and
eventually I want to make a career of teaching
because it’s what I enjoy doing most.
“At University, we get the rare privilege of
spending our time trying to make the world a
better place. Auckland has been a great place
to do that.”
Clark Tipene (Ngāpuhi), Master of Arts in
Sociology student, is a recipient of a University
of Auckland Māori Postgraduate Scholarship
and a Dean of Arts Masters Thesis Scholarship.

15“This programme is
providing a space to reflect
on and deepen my practice.
It is a great mix of theory
and practical application:
allowing us to incorporate
our work experience and
lived knowledge with what
we know from the evidence
and published work.”
“Over the last decade, I’ve held leadership
roles in non-profit organisations. A common
thread in this work has been change:
designing for social change, making changes
in the way organisations and systems work,
and supporting people to change their
attitudes and behaviours. This programme
appealed to me because of its grounding
in social justice and ethics, and its blend of
social innovation, leadership and formal
research skills. I also like how the programme
is structured to allow a wide range of choices
to support different professional interests.
“I’m planning to undertake my thesis on
suicide prevention, focusing on community-led
responses from rainbow/LGBTI+ communities.
Despite being at significantly higher risk
of suicidal behaviour than other groups in
New Zealand, the rainbow population is not
well recognised or resourced within national
suicide prevention efforts. I currently work in
this area and have been directly engaged with
the issue of rainbow suicide prevention for the
last six years. Because of this, I’m anticipating
that my research will have direct practical
application in informing how programmes and
advocacy approaches are developed.
“It’s been exciting to be part of the first group
to undertake this masters programme. There
has been real scope for getting to know where
my classmates have come from and what they
are interested in. We’ve formed connections
that have been supportive and fun.”
