    Hi Etsim. The project is based in English...almost all of CITA's work is intended for international dissemination, so is done that way.

    Dear Phil/David,
    Thank you for posting this. Actually I'm very interested in this potential PhD, as my research interests are quite aligned with the PhD Focus.

    However I have a couple of concerns and questions that I wanted to share with you:
    1. I'm a practicing design architect, do you think my design/construction background could be a positive factor or otherwise?
    2. As I am in an early stage of my research, I don't have publications yet, other than my Masters thesis, but I'm currently working on two papers that are still work-in-progress. Do you see this as an issue?

    Many thanks in advance

    Regards,
    Omar

    Dear Omar

    Type of background is not an issue. What is of interest to us is that you demonstrate how your experience can be brought to bear upon, provide insight and elucidate the concerns of the project.

    The PhD will demand that the candidate is actively engaged in publishing papers, so having experience of this activity will certainly be a benefit, but it is not a prerequisite. You should certainly give the details/provide drafts of your work-in-progress papers.

    Hope this answers your questions.

    All the best 

    Phil
