S4 - Episode 2: Conversations with Dr. Patrick Esser

In this episode, I speak with Professor Patrick Esser about his academic journey, from his PhD years to postdoctoral life and the transition to becoming a professor within the UK academic system. We reflect on the challenges, growth, and resilience that shape a research career, and how his research focus has evolved over time.

We also dive into what it means to supervise PhD students: the responsibilities, challenges, and the importance of clear communication and problem-solving. Professor Esser shares his expectations of PhD students, the qualities that matter most, and how students can navigate the PhD journey with stronger support systems.

Finally, we discuss practical advice for future PhD candidates, the value of a PhD in academia versus industry, and honest reflections on what a PhD gives you—both professionally and personally.

A thoughtful and grounded conversation for anyone considering a PhD, currently in one, or mentoring the next generation of researchers.


Enjoy!
