“I believe doctoral
research will help me
broaden my horizons
in the interface
between Māori culture
and environmental
engineering.”
Nona is a PhD candidate in Environmental
Engineering. His thesis aims to facilitate
more efficient collaboration between Māori
communities and non-Māori parties to utilise
and develop geothermal resources.
“As a member of Te Ārawa and Tainui iwi, I
am regularly engaging with various members
of Te Ārawa and Ngāti Tūwharetoa hapū and
obtaining historical and cultural mōhiotanga
(knowledge) of Māori communities’ spiritual
and physical links with geothermal resources
in the central North Island. I also explore
the different worldviews associated with
geothermal development to pursue holistic
decision-making and ensure cultural,
environmental, social, and economic
sustainability.
“Within geothermal development, Māori
communities are under-benefited, and
with little sustainability, our Te Ārawa and
Tūwharetoa people are at risk of losing the
very gift that our ancestors have thrived with
for hundreds of years.
“I am originally from Rotorua where I was
immersed in Māori culture and language, and
utilised geothermal resources as a member of
the local community. By combining my cultural
heritage with an education from a western
engineering institute, I have the ability to help
facilitate sustainable change and increase
cultural awareness in the engineering space
for our people.
“I hope to raise our younger generation's
awareness of past, present and future issues
that Māori communities may face if the current
direction of geothermal utilisation continues.”
Nona Hohepa-Taute is a PhD candidate in
Environmental Engineering. He is a recipient
of a Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority scholarship and
GNS Science Doctoral Research Award.

“I learned so many
new skills during
my postgraduate
studies, and it allowed
me to develop both
professionally as a
scientist and grow as
a person.”
Rebecca is a graduate of the Doctor of
Philosophy in Biological Sciences and a
lecturer in Wine Science at the University
of Auckland. Her PhD research investigated
how different temperatures used during wine
fermentation impacts the metabolism of yeast.
“I chose to pursue my doctorate because it
was exciting to be able to select a PhD topic
that was interdisciplinary, combining my love
of genetics and aroma chemistry. My decision
to undertake my studies at the University of
Auckland was for its strong research culture
and world-class science performance.
“My PhD has provided me with many
opportunities. At an academic level, my
research resulted in the publication of three
journal articles in highly-regarded journals
in the field of wine science. I was also able to
attend three international conferences and
present the work from my thesis.
“At a professional level, I was able to work
for my supervisor as a lab technician for a
year after my PhD, which led to developing
commercial wine yeast strains along with
some teaching experience. This led to
postdoctoral and teaching work which was
essential for getting my academic position at
the University of Auckland.
“I have also made lifelong friends
and developed networks for research
collaboration.”
Rebecca Deed is a recipient of the Janet Bain
MacKay Memorial Prize, the Frances Briggs
Memorial Prize in Plant Sciences, and the
Bright Futures Doctoral Scholarship.

“As a Pacific student,
the University’s Māori
and Pacific Admission
Scheme (MAPAS) provides
valuable academic and
pastoral support that is
second to none.”
Julie recently completed a Bachelor of
Health Sciences (Honours), investigating the
perceptions of Māori stroke survivors and
their whanau on the use of a robotic aid to
assist rehabilitation. She will be extending
her research into a PhD, focusing on the
epidemiology of cardiovascular disease among
Pacific people living in New Zealand.
“Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause
of preventable death both in New Zealand
and globally, and Pacific people in particular
experience a disproportionately higher burden
compared to the general population.
“There is a lack of Pacific health researchers,
and a greater lack of Pacific epidemiologists
in New Zealand. I decided to pursue
postgraduate study to help change this and do
my part to improve the health experiences and
outcomes of Pacific people in New Zealand.”
“The reputation of the University of Auckland
was one of the reasons that I decided to study
here. The calibre of the academic staff and
the teaching environment is very high, and
there are many internationally-recognised
academics in the Faculty of Medical and
Health Sciences.
“My postgrad study helped me to determine
what fuels my passion, and where I want to
situate myself in the health workforce. I liked
that classes were a lot smaller and you could
build networks and relationships with peers,
staff members and academics who become
colleagues when you complete your studies.”
Julie Winter-Smith is a recipient of the
Ministry of Health Aniva scholarship and the
Pacific Health Workforce Awards.

“I enjoy the independence
of postgraduate study.
Having a major project
to manage is a great
challenge that is very
exciting to me.”
Originally from the UK, Jarrah is a recipient of
a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship.
After completing a Summer Research Scholarship
which sparked an interest in further postgraduate
study, Jarrah is now studying towards a PhD in
Bioengineering.
“My work focuses on cardiac mechanics
using the Auckland Bioengineering Institute’s
cardiomyometer. The title of my thesis is ‘Transient
dynamic performance of cardiac muscle during
interventions,’ where an intervention is anything
that modifies the contractile state of cardiac
muscle be that stimulus frequency, muscle length,
or use of pharmacological agents.
“By performing more physiologically relevant
experiments, we can get a better understanding
of how the heart works. This is especially useful
when looking at diseased tissue (e.g. diabetic)
where we can figure out what changes or goes
wrong, providing us with information about
potential targets for treating these conditions.
“I chose the University of Auckland due to its
world-leading instrumentation for the study of
cardiac muscle, along with the financial security
of a doctoral scholarship. The high academic
ranking and distinguished reputation of the
University was certainly a consideration in my
decision to come here for my undergraduate
degree. At the time it was the only New Zealand
university that offered biomedical engineering and
even now, the degree it offers is unparalleled in
the country.
“Studying bioengineering at the University is
something special – it’s a relatively small group
which means that you get to know everyone pretty
quickly. ABI has a great social committee which
organises events catering to all types of people.
I’ve made so many great friends through these
events that I would have otherwise never met.”
Jarrah Dowrick is a recipient of the University of
Auckland Doctoral Scholarship.

“I chose University of Auckland’s masters

“During my masters studies, I had great

enthusiasm fostered my interest in accounting

continue my PhD studies at the University of

“Starting PhD study is a serious decision.
Before making the decision, talk to some PhD
students about their study and life so that you
can get a feeling about whether you’ll like it.
Having a face-to-face talk with the teaching
staff in your department helps a lot.
“Another piece of advice that I got from a

challenged, supported,
affirmed and encouraged
through the lecturing,
supervision and the
programme as a whole.”
“I work in the area of social and community
leadership and was looking for some learning
that gave me an opportunity to explore
leadership, social innovation and design, and
to master the skills of research and do some of
my own. The Master of Social and Community
Leadership was a perfect qualification for
that.
“I am the General Manager of Social Services
at the Auckland City Mission, responsible for
all of our service provision. It is a genuine and
real privilege for me to be able to respond
to the needs of people who for a variety of
reasons find themselves struggling and quite
desperate at times.
“My role has meaning and purpose, and I get
to be both responsive and creative. It’s fun,
hard, challenging and really, really rewarding.
“This qualification has taught me a lot about
evidence informed work, its importance and
how to get to it!”
