“I chose the combined
Architecture and Urban
Design degree to open
up a wider range of job
opportunities and to
be able to contribute
to issues that affect
our Pacific communities,
such as the housing
crisis.”
“Architecture and urban design engage well

with each other: architecture looks at the
design of an individual built object and how
it interacts with its immediate surroundings,
while urban design takes a step back and
designs the way the built form relates to its
greater context and public space.
“Not much attention is being paid to
architecture in the Pacific, which is why we
are seeing poorly designed buildings (the
majority of which are aid buildings) being
built. These buildings are shaping our urban
environment and are completely removed from
their context. My research looks into Pacific
regionalism, and lack thereof, analysing both
the individual buildings and the urban context
and history.
“I hope to come up with a ‘type’ of
architectural form that will take into
consideration its whole context and provide a
first step towards an appropriate regionalist
style for the Pacific. Through this project, I will
be able to give something tangible back to my
parents, who sacrifice for me to be here, and
to my homeland (Samoa) that will contribute
to the preservation of our culture and enhance
appreciation of our architectural history and
built environment.
“The studio environment at the University
allows me to work alongside and learn
from other brilliant students. Architecture
is demanding and requires a high level of
commitment so the environment we spend
most of our time in needs to be healthy and
enjoyable. The facilities are a fantastic asset
and the teaching staff are very approachable,
always willing to help and play a big part in
creating the quality of the course.”
Matilda Mareta Talalupelele Phillips
is studying a combined Master of Architecture
(Professional) and Urban Design.

“I started a postgraduate
certificate to support
my practice and
hadn’t intended to
continue beyond that
first qualification.
Postgraduate study
provided a much needed
developmental stretch,
I was surprised and
encouraged by my results
and rediscovered a love
of learning.”
“Having a scholarship has made it possible

to continue on to masters and I’m now
considering a PhD. It means I’ve been able to
focus my attention on my research without the
pressures of working alongside study.
“My research has the potential to raise the
profile of group work practice in New Zealand,
validate current practice and determine
further learning needs. I previously worked for
Community Alcohol and Drug Services, which
had a very robust group work programme.
Groups were mostly open membership, this
allowed clients to join at any time, meeting
their needs while they were motivated
for change. However, group theory and
practice frameworks are primarily based on
closed groups and I want to explore other
practitioners’ experiences of open-entry group
work.
“Postgraduate study has been a completely
different experience to undergraduate study. I
enjoy the independent nature, the phenomenal
degree of experience the faculty staff bring,
and more collegial relationships with staff.
Considerable thought has gone into learning
resources and structuring classes to fit around
work schedules. My wonderful research
supervisors have been incredibly supportive
of my study and wider aspirations. As cliché
as it sounds, my study experience has literally
changed my life.”

“When I finished my
undergraduate study,
I found there were still
so many things that I
needed to know about
economics. I decided to
explore more and focus
on what really interested
me: how energy and the
economy connect.”
Milad is an international student from Iran

researching the impact of industrial energy
savings on the New Zealand economy. He
has developed an energy-economy model
that takes into account potential energy
savings arising from the introduction of new
technology, and traces the impact of this
innovation throughout the economy. The tool
could be used by business and the public
sector.
“I am always keen to apply my economics to
real projects. I have modelled the potential
impact of new heat exchanger technology
at Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter (which
consumes 15% of all electricity generated
in New Zealand) on the economy, and the
environmental and economic impact of the
uptake of electric cars in New Zealand.
“I’m a member of the Energy Centre (a multi-
disciplinary research centre at the University)
and really enjoy working in this environment
with a group of highly skilled researchers. I
really appreciate the great support I get from
my supervisor – he is one of the main reasons
that I’m enjoying my PhD at the University. I’m
also teaching in the Department of Economics:
it’s a great opportunity and good work
experience for me.”
Milad Maralani, PhD candidate in Economics,

Academic integrity requirement

The University of Auckland requires all students admitted into a programme to complete the Academic
Integrity Course in their first semester.
www.auckland.ac.nz/academicintegritycourse
“Encouraging
clinicians to complete
postgraduate study can
strengthen healthcare
practice and health
services. It provides
the opportunity to
sustain and expand
your research and
supports the integration
of research into clinical
practice.”
PhD candidate Barbara Cormack is an

experienced Paediatric Charge Dietitian at
Starship Children’s Health. A growing interest
and involvement in neonatal nutrition research
led Barbara to her PhD at the Liggins Institute,
where her research centres on the ProVIDe
study, a multicentre trial of high protein
intakes for extremely preterm babies.
“Birth at extremely preterm gestation or
extremely low birthweight (<1,000g) can
be considered a nutritional emergency.
Adequate protein intake in the weeks after
birth is critical for optimum growth and
development, but there is little evidence on the
amount required. The ProVIDe study aims to
assess whether administering a high-protein
fluid in the week after birth will improve
neurodevelopment. Because the intervention
is so simple and inexpensive, if it’s successful,
it could be implemented in all neonatal units,
thereby improving lifelong health.
“The ProVIDe study began as a glimmer in
my eye, but I needed a great deal of help
to develop the study protocol and obtain
funding, ethics approval and get the study up
and running in New Zealand and Australia.
Enrolling as a PhD student and gaining
access to the experienced researchers and
infrastructure at the Liggins Institute made the
study a reality.
“Deciding to enrol for a PhD is a big decision.
I chose the Liggins Institute because I know
they do exceptional health research and I
wanted to learn how to do this too. I have not
regretted my decision for a moment. I have
been encouraged and well supported by the
academic and support staff to achieve the best
that I possibly can in my time here.”
Barbara Cormack, PhD candidate in Health
Sciences.

“The University has been
a great place to find like-
minded people to work
on projects and create
new companies with.”
Daniel has recently completed his PhD at

the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI),
researching wearable motion capture stretch
sensors .Throughout his time at the University,
Daniel worked on innovative projects that went
on to be developed as start-up and spin-out
companies. The flexibility of the programme
enabled Daniel to work on his own startup
business, UVLens, during his PhD.
“My research developed ways to use soft, rubber
sensors to capture body motion. This technology
enables computers to analyse body movements
for motion feedback in sports coaching, motioning
patient health for rehabilitation, and motion-
activated control of computer devices. This idea
won a Spark Ideas Challenges Award and a
spin-out company from our lab (StretchSense) has
licensed the intellectual property.
“I was given a lot of support from the ABI. The PhD
programme provided me the freedom to explore
new technologies and develop my entrepreneurial
skills in a safe environment.
“Having a University of Auckland Doctoral
Scholarship allowed me to explore research that
was interesting to me, rather than in a defined
scope. My other scholarships enabled me to
travel to the US to the Ignite Entrepreneurship
Programme at Stanford (MBIE/ATEED scholarship)
and to the annual SPIE Smart Materials
Conference (SPIE scholarship).”

“The Summer Research
Scholarship allowed
me to experience what
postgraduate research
would be like: being
independent in my
research, seeing how
research is systematically
carried out and working
in a research group
environment.”
After completing a Summer Research

Scholarship at the University, Paul is now
undertaking a PhD in Chemistry, researching
self-healing conductors based on conducting
polymers.
“I am aiming to develop an intrinsically
conductive, stretchable plastic material that
will be able to heal itself. This material can
be applied to newly emerging areas such
as stretchable electronics and healthcare
devices.
“I enjoy the freedom of researching what I
am most passionate about. I’ve been able
to explore the different aspects of this field
and observe really interesting behaviours
from these plastics that were previously
only possible in one’s imagination. The best
parts of doing a PhD are realising what your
interests and skills are, and being able to
challenge yourself to express your creativity in
your own way through science.”

recipient of University of Auckland Doctoral
