Student Research Assistant
Durham, England, United Kingdom
Whilst completing my A-Level studies, I completed a Nuffield Research Project in a summer placement at Durham University. Worked in the Atomic and Molecular Department, studying solitons in harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates. This required adaptability and determination, as it involved theoretical and computational work far above my A-Level specification at the time.Presented the final report with a poster to a scientific audience, and as a result, was nominated for UK Young… Show more Whilst completing my A-Level studies, I completed a Nuffield Research Project in a summer placement at Durham University.
