Seven Questions with... Sam Fardghassemi

This week we meet third-year psychology PhD student Sam. Here, Sam - who currently runs guided meditation sessions at the Student Centre - explains how meditation can help you beat exam stress. What are you studying, why are you interested in this subject and what do you plan to do in the future?. I am studying my PhD in psychology looking at why many young people are lonely today. I am interested in this topic because I have a passion for studying wellbeing and bringing happiness to people. We have discovered some really interesting findings about the causes and experiences of loneliness among young people today and my plan is to design interventions that can tackle loneliness and bring about happiness. What is the most interesting thing you've done, seen or got involved with while at UCL?.
