Sometimes interesting research starts with a question from faced by industry. That question may lead to other questions – and maybe even shine a light on a broader research problem not specific to that industry.

Collaboration between academia and industry allows researchers to identify and explore these new and interesting problems. One way that’s being done is through industry PhDs.

In this podcast, we explore what an industry PhD is, how it’s different than a traditional PhD, and what it’s like to collaborate with industry partners as you pursue a PhD.

Our host is Dr Sevvandi Kandanaarachchi, a Senior Research Scientist with CSIRO.
