In the last couple of week, two of my PhD students, Lance Li and Isaac Hobday, have faced their viva exams and come out as doctors (subject to minor corrections etc). The current rule at Surrey is that PhD supervisors are not allowed to be present, and so I had to just wait to hear what happened to them both. There are now two relieved students and one relieved supervisor (well, more than one, as I'm sure the co-supervisors are relieved too).
If I were present in the vivas, I'd probably have grabbed a photo with them, but I wasn't so instead, here is Isaac standing by a poster of mine that features some of his work:
and here's one of Lance, with some fellow PhD students attending my 50th birthday partty last year. Lance is third from the left:
