What does it take to go from master's student to researcher?

In this episode of What’s Up AIC, host Sangya Sapkota sits down with Dr Jishuo (Jimmy) Sun and Chathurika Alwis to explore a journey shaped by mentorship, collaboration, and academic discovery.

Jimmy is a Senior Lecturer at Auckland International Campus (AIC), researcher, mentor, and advocate for student-staff collaboration. Alongside him is Chathurika, a peer tutor and master's research student nearing the completion of her research journey, who has already contributed to academic research and presented at international conferences.
