A 12 week summer placement undertaken as part of the MSc Exploration Geophysics course with Leeds University. The aim of the project was to produce a regional scale velocity model for the Central North Sea to allow rapid depth conversion of time surfaces.The model produced was an 8 layer model based on velocity depth functions and covered an area of around 40,000 km2. Bootstrapping techniques estimated that the model would have a 90 % chance of producing depth errors of less than 5 % at BCU level.This project was awarded best MSc Exploration Geophysics project for 2011/2012.The main software used throughout was Petrel and Microsoft Excel.

My main task was to evaluate performance benefits that could be gained from novel acid DMFC fuel cell membranes. I had to draw up a comprehensive but efficient testing schedule to ensure the evaluation could be completed within a tight deadline. Following on from this I was tasked with testing the new technologies to destruction and starting a long term durability investigation. It was important to determine a realistic life cycle for the product to allow for meaningful testing. This was extended into accelerated durability testing to investigate specific issues with degradation. These issues were then solved in a manner that provided maximum performance gain with minimum impact on system design. I was also involved in building and installing new equipment to expand the testing capabilities of the lab.
