After completing his Bachelor program in Bangalore, India and his Masters program in Sri Lanka, Sean came across the ANU at an international exhibition in Sri Lanka.

Sean is now in the final phases of his PhD with the Centre for Public Awareness of Science (CPAS). His PhD is looking at Science based professional development programs held for teachers and how effective science communication strategies compliment the effectiveness of these.

Although moving to Canberra was challenging, Sean comments that "life is full of challenges" and has enjoyed the supportive community of the ANU, including the meet and greet service that met him at the airport on his arrival.

Sean currently calls University House home, and enjoys the interaction with his fellow residents, believing that it is important to surround yourself with support to help adjust to living in a new country. Canberra is a very student friendly city with Sean referring to it as "one big library, gallery, museum".

Sean is also convening a second year Science Communication course and enjoys his involvement in teaching/learning as well as his continued research in effective forms of communication.
