The University of Bristol News webpage on the 16th of August 2016. I feel privileged to have had the chance to be the face of the university in an important announcement such as this.
The University of Bristol has been ranked as 8th in the UK and has risen nine places to 57th in the world in the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) – its highest ranking in 13 years. ARWU, considered as one of the leading international league tables, assesses more than 1,200 universities every year using six measures and publishes data on the best 500.
For details, go to the University of Bristol News page (link).

The photo used in the news article was shot last year (i.e. 2015) when I was a PhD student at the University of Bristol – as part of a series of ‘photo shoot’s for the postgraduate prospectus.
My photo also appeared on the University of Bristol Social and Community Medicine website (2017) with the caption: “I was impressed with the research that was going on at the Bristol Genetic Epidemiology Labs (aka BGEL) and the department’s QS ranking places the University amongst the top 50 in the world. I also liked the way I was treated by my potential supervisors (Dr. Santi Rodriguez, Dr. Tom Gaunt and Prof. Ian Day) prior to accepting the offer”.
PS: I previously interviewed the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bristol, Prof. Eric Thomas – for NoS Magazine. The PDF version can be found here
PPS: I’ve also modelled for the University of Leicester undergraduate prospectus (details can be found here) 🙂
