PhD Graduation Ceremony

It was a wonderful occasion to reflect on and celebrate the PhD experience with colleagues at a very special graduation ceremony organised by the University of York. Having missed my original BSc graduation back in 2000, it was great to finally wear the gown and receive the award on stage. I will always be grateful to all those people who made it possible for me to enage in these years of study, training and research.

I’m thankful to the University of York alumni organisation, “York for Life”, which organised for a clip of the moment to be freely available to graduands.

For a bit of fun, I wanted to solve the puzzle automatically (or as close as possible) using constraint programming.
