Don't say/write: He is a PhD holder.
Say or write: He is a PhD.
Saying someone is a PhD implies saying the said person is a 'Doctor of Philosophy'. Therefore, we should steer clear of including the noun *holder*
However, it is incumbent upon me to apprise you of the fact that:
while *PhD* does not collocate with *holder*, it collocates with words such as student, thesis etc.
As such, it is spot on to say or write: She's a *PhD student* Aberdeen University, Uk.
