Serife graduated from the University of Bath with MEng degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in 2015. Her final year research project looked into developing an algorithm for the walking motion of individuals using easily available sensors. Chemistry is a new adventure for her and she is looking forward to combining the knowledge of the two different disciplines on her PhD studies. Besides studying, she is a big fan of bodybuilding and won her first physique competition in May 2015.
