Some of the successful PhDs supervised by David Firth are listed below with their current positions.

David writes:

Supervising research students is, for me, one of the real pleasures of academic life. PhD students don't just write an interesting thesis on a specialized topic area, they also discover what research is all about — it's a way of thinking, and a great preparation for imaginative and influential work after graduation. Some of my former PhD students whose current positions I know about are listed below.

As of April 2022:
Recent PhD graduate, Dr Fiona Sammut
