Peer Support Network

The Peer Support Network provides a means of contacting postgraduate students within the Institute who have agreed to act as informal mentors to other students. So if there is anything you would like advice on, whether it's a particular technique you want to learn or an experiment that isn't working, have a look at the list. Against each name there is some indication about the student's areas of expertise.

Find out more about the student's project and contact details.
