Qiang was one of eight students who presented at this year’s ASM. His paper provided an overview of his research project titled “Evaluating the distribution of foveal avascular zone parameters in a young, healthy population”, which is being conducted under the supervision of Raine Study researcher the Lions Eye Institute’s Professor David Mackey AO.
Anu was judged to be the best of the five early career researcher presentations at the event. Her research “Flexible work fosters a flexible future work-self: the interplay of job autonomy and self- efficacy inthe development of future work-self flexibility” is being conducted in partnership with Professor Sharon Parker and Associate Professor Patrick Dunlop, from Curtin University’s Centre for Transformative Work Design and Future of Work Institute respectively.
We wish them well and look forward to learning more about their future research success.
