Technically the PhD was part time although most people in my position took 4 to 5 years. This was also the early 90s so times may have changed..

I was lucky enough to get involved in the web very early (1992) and present papers at the first few web conferences - though that wasn’t my day job.

Edit: I worked on a couple of EU Esprit 2 projects.

Ah that makes sense. The rules have changed since, though a part time PhD would still take 6-7 years.

I imagine that must have been quite interesting!
