Winter seasonal position based in the Mountain Adventure Centre at the Fairmont Hotel, Whistler.Ski & Snowboard Rentals

Based in the Oral Healthcare Technical department at the Maidenhead global supply chain manufacturing site. Project work primarily focused on delivering improvements to the current batch manufacturing processes for toothpaste & mouthwash. Also involved in design and development of new manufacturing processes that provide the following site specific benefits: reduced batch cycle time, reduced water-use, reduced energy usage and improved process & operator safety. Have worked in a number of multidisciplinary project teams which include project engineers, production engineers, operators, QC analysts, product owners and R&D personnel.

Research work carried out in Summer, following on from my 3rd Year engineering research project. Involved collaborating with students, professors & graduates based in the Chemical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences departments. Won the Carol Lawrenson award for best project.Overview:Development of a complex kinetic model with the aim of simulating the conversion of a bio-methanol feedstock to olefins (e.g. ethylene & propylene) at different process conditions. This provided new kinetic data such as rate constants and equilibrium constants and developed a greater understanding of the reaction mechanisms that occur. This is a promising reaction and area of research as it could lead to a renewable process for the production of high value hydrocarbons from bio-methanol.
