In January 2015, I began employment with DuPont Teijin Films, having completed my four-year EngD with the company. My work primarily involved:- Use of CFD and engineering calculations to assist with the design of a new polymer film line;- Expanding previous STAR-CCM+ CFD models to production scale systems and further parts of the film production process;- Successful modelling of air flows and heat transfer within large ovens using CFD;- Use of CFD to design and develop a now… Show more In January 2015, I began employment with DuPont Teijin Films, having completed my four-year EngD with the company.

I was based with DuPont Teijin Films in The Wilton Centre where I worked towards an EngD in Formulation Engineering. My project was based on using STAR-CCM+ CFD software to improve the layer thickness control of polyester based multilayered films. In this role, some of my major achievements included:- Successful modelling of both pilot and production scale geometries;- Assisting with the modelling of a new and now commercially successful polymer film;- Using CFD to design two… Show more I was based with DuPont Teijin Films in The Wilton Centre where I worked towards an EngD in Formulation Engineering.

I spent seven months working for an accountancy firm in Manchester. My main tasks were:- Sourcing further business development opportunities;- Preparing VAT return forms for a large and diverse client group;- General bookkeeping;- Following up on clients' requests and suggestions.

I worked as a teaching assistant in a number of secondary schools in deprived areas of Manchester. My main tasks were:- Planning and delivering full lessons to classes of over 30 pupils;- Working with small groups who were struggling with mathematics and science;- Running workshops promoting mathematics and science careers.
