"Macquarie University was where I decided to do my PhD as it has always been really strong in Wireless Engineering. The people there also drew me to Macquarie.
There's also the bonus of having a huge number of high-tech companies so close by. I have been really impressed with the enthusiasm of staff here at the University . . . . . . They are really focussing a lot of energy and always improving the new degrees here and taking advantage of the surrounding high-tech industry."
