PHOTCAST EP3 - Graduating as a PhD student at B-PHOT | Master of Science in Photonics Engineering

PHOTCAST is a podcast from students, with students, for students. We discuss every aspect of photonics & engineering, studying photonics in Belgium, student life and future job perspectives. PhD researcher and MSPE alumnus Mehdi Feizpour checks in with his colleague Dr. Qing Liu. Being an alumnus at the photonics programme himself, Mehdi is now a PhD researcher at B-PHOT, the Brussels Photonics Team from VUB, where Qing graduated as a PhD candidate last summer.
