Congratulations to UCL School of Management PhD student Nilam Kaushik who has been selected as one of the top three finalists from the Faculty of Engineering 3 Minute Thesis Competition.

3MT is an academic competition developed by the University of Queensland and is established in several countries, candidates present a 3 minute thesis using one PowerPoint slide with no additional props or electronic media. PhD students describe their research to a general audience.

Nilam’s winning topic was “Measuring the impact of app feature novelty on firm performance using Information Retrieval techniques: evidence from the mobile apps industry” which will now take her along with the two other selected students into the University-wide semi-finals.  This will take place in June, where the overall winner from UCL will be nominated for the Vitae 3MT National Final in September 2016.
