Summer placement under the supervision of Dr R. Lancaster and Dr F. Korkees, revamping and planning a new undergraduate practical module. This included the planning of practical’s such as:• The effects of thermal and mechanical processing on the characterisation of titanium• The effects of age hardening on the mechanical properties of aluminium • The effects of under curing and over heating on the glass transition temperature and failure mode of carbon fibre composites.

This included the planning of practical’s such as:• The effects of thermal and mechanical processing on the characterisation of titanium• The effects of age hardening on the mechanical properties of aluminium • The effects of under curing and over heating on the glass transition temperature and failure mode of carbon fibre composites. This involved the preparation of microstructure and tensile samples, heat treatment of samples, characterisation of microstructures using both optical and electron microscopy methods, and mechanical testing improving my practical skills. Expanding my knowledge and understanding of many different materials. Show less

Held a part time job working within a unique environmentally friendly international company, which develop and manufacture water based inks and paints. This provided me with an insight into the mixing and manufacturing of chemicals; allowing me to gain a wealth of knowledge from experienced chemists, from a hands on prospective. Developing valuable time management skills, within a diverse team environment.
