Very proud of Lex for this achievement. It was a pleasure to supervise him. In fact, he needed very minimal guidance on his dissertation. Well done Lex!
Congratulations to our recent graduate Lex Irish for winning the UK Data Service Dissertation Award! @DUBusSchool @durham_uni #EconTwitter durham.ac.uk/business/about/…
