 Chinemelu Ezeh, PhD in Surgical Science
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital
For my research in designing smart wheelchairs, UCL
has given me the opportunity to collaborate with the Royal
National Orthopaedic Hospital and Aspire, a charity. This is
an enormously benecial opportunity as my research is being
guided by inputs from clinical personnel and patients from
these organisations.

I would recommend that students speak with as many people

as they can about what they do. London is lled with so many
7 th
IN THE WORLD

opportunities and people are the gatekeepers of opportunities.

I am now working as the Head of
Research at the Equality and Human Rights
Commission. The skills I acquired while
doing a PhD at UCL are directly relevant to
my work.

9,- I made many useful contacts while

studying at UCL, which helped me get a job
later. Id recommend that students network
and that theyre not ashamed to use these
contacts when they are looking for a job.
