For my doctoral thesis, I investigated the quality of life impacts of amblyopia and strabismus on adults living in Australia and India and developed country-specific, technologically advanced patient reported outcome measures. During my PhD, I established collaboration between study centres in Australia and India, made several scientific presentations and two peer reviewed publications. I am honoured to receive the Academic Excellence Award for Postgraduate Research from His Excellency the Honourable Hieu Van Le AC, the governor of South Australia, and Sean Keenihan, chair of StudyAdelaide. I have received many awards in the past, but this one is very special to me. As I am nearing the end of my PhD, I believe that this recognition by the International Student Awards will open new avenues to support my career goals. I consider this to be the first of many recognitions I aim to achieve as a researcher in future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations Sheela from all of us in the Office of Graduate Research and the Flinders HDR community.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/blog.studyadelaide.com\/2019-international-student-awards\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; At the recent International Student Awards our very own Sheela Kumaran received the award for Academic Excellence: Postgraduate (Research).\u00a0 The ceremony was held at the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1883,"featured_media":33,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173,172],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards","category-hdr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
