IMM Student Ahsan Ali selected for PhD

His Words:

IMM Experience: The IMM has provided a life-changing experience for me. I look back to when I started and I realize that many concepts I thought I had understood at the time required serious improvement. I am grateful for being given the opportunity to improve my analytical skills as well as broaden my mathematical knowledge. Furthermore, the chance to meet like-minded individuals who shared my passion for mathematics and to study alongside them has definitely been worthwhile. After these intensive two years, I would not say that I have completely mastered every aspect of mathematics or even my chosen research field, however I can safely say that I have become competent enough to pursue higher studies in the subject.

Thoughts and Expectations: As I am about to pursue an equally or more intensive 5 year PhD program, I would be lying if I said that I am not nervous. Nonetheless, I intend to keep a positive attitude and hope to benefit as much as I can from this amazing opportunity. I have no doubt that my future studies will allow me to further improve myself both personally and academically. Moreover, I expect to meet other passionate students of mathematics and learn how to effectively collaborate with them to make me a better researcher.
