3 Minute Thesis (3MT)

Competitors have just three minutes to present a memorable, interesting and accurate story about their thesis and its significance, using just one PowerPoint slide.

The below list contains our 3MT competitors for 2022, with one of these entrants to be selected to represent us in the Asia-Pacific Final. More information about the competition and rules for submissions can be found on the 3 Minute Thesis website.
