I represented EKOenergy in the UK and Ireland, primarily in charge of communication with companies and NGOs. My responsibilities included advertising the ecolabel, website maintenance, article/blog post writing and copy editing.

Worked in collaboration with the start up Fixed Phage to analyse how bacteriophages (viruses that prey on bacteria) change the growth and swimming behaviour of bacteria. I started this work as a summer project but continued it in my Masters project.Developed a particle tracking code in C and Python for analysing videos of bacteria which I used to characterise their swimming behaviour during bacteriophage infection.Worked in a lab culturing bacteria, constructing microfluidic devices and performing confocal, fluorescent and FLIM microscopy.

Worked as part of a Geophysics research team at the University of Edinburgh to analyse data taken from a recent survey of a volcano in Ethiopia. The survey employed a geophysics technique called Magnetotellurics, which measures the resistivity of the underlying rock. I used Matlab to analyse a large, unstructured data set taken from this survey to compare how the resistivity of the volcano had changed since the previous study, 4 years earlier.

Company offers quad biking tours and races off-road buggies on a diversified farm near Dunfermline. I helped maintain the vehicles, run races and assist customers in setting up for races and running through safety procedures.
