My Ph.D. Supervisor is Still Working in His 80s
Filed under: He loves what he does
ased on his profile (not this university page entitled “Professor Chris Taylor”), my Ph.D. supervisor has now been at the Victoria University of Manchester for over 62 years. It now says “Academic Lead, Turing Innovation Catalyst at The University of Manchester” (since April 2023).
I can’t believe he’s still at it. In his 80s. He’s about the same age as Michael Brady, who also did his BSc and MSc at the Victoria University of Manchester.
Well done, very inspiring.
I cannot say this surprises me. Knowing him in person for 5+ years, he’s highly devoted to what he does. Inspirational.
