PhD Thesis Defence 博士班論文口試
From Recordings to Ecology - Turning Bird Sounds into Ecological Insights
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in attending my PhD defence — it’s truly an exciting milestone for me. This repository will serve as the main hub for all related information, and I will keep it updated.
The official defence will take place at University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George (hybrid format). To share this special moment with friends and colleagues in Vancouver, where I spent most of my PhD, there will be an in-person practice session at University of British Columbia (UBC).
🎙️ Defence practice - March 25 (In person)
Although it’s called a defence practice, I am really treating it as the UBC version of my defence. I spent most of my PhD in UBC Vancouver, which holds so many meaningful memories for me. I would love to use this opportunity to celebrate this special milestone with everyone here.
