Message from the founder:

I graduated with a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Caltech University in 2019. After graduating, I worked at Apple as a Hardware Engineer for 3 years.

Even after graduating, my 6 year PhD experience left a very deep mark on me. There were many challenging ups and downs, and it often felt like a very lonely journey.

That's why I created PhD Valley. I wanted to create a space that I wished I had during my PhD journey, and I hope that it can make the PhD journey just a bit easier for all of us here.
