| Peter Clark | Victoria University of Wellington |
| Peter will study at Oxford University for a DPhil. He will work in the complex field of multi-component domino reactions – combining three or more compounds in a single reaction, as opposed to the traditional two. This efficient process reduces chemical waste. In the longer term Peter hopes to shorten syntheses processes and so deliver more affordable pharmaceuticals for patients. He has been accepted at Magdalen College. | |
| Ross Haines | Otago University |
| Ross will study at Oxford University for a DPhil, using statistics to research how the English language has evolved over time. He will look for patterns in the language of medieval manuscripts using mathematical models to pinpoint the manuscripts' origins and their historical context. In the longer term, he wants to use his statistical expertise to tackle problems from as many different fields as possible. | |
| Doron Hickey | University of Auckland |
| Doron will study for a DPhil at Oxford University. He will research how gene therapy – injecting human genetic material into the eye to make cells that are not normally light sensitive, become light sensitive – can be applied to correct congenital blindness. He hopes his research will contribute to the goal of restoring vision for those born without sight, and possibly one day help to treat people who live with age-related, macular and degenerative eye disease. He has been accepted at Merton College. | |
