Favourite Thing:

Any experiments and tests that involve me getting to do lots of hands-on interesting work, especially when I have some really interesting results at the end!

Me and my work

Currently researching for a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, which looks at anything which relates engineering to the human body. I’m concentrating on knee replacements though!

My Typical Day

After heading to campus, I spend the day doing a variety of work involving designing and using test rigs in the lab, reading research papers to catch up on what other scientists are doing, and meetings to discuss what ive been doing!

What I'd do with the money

Use it to fund scientists like me to be able to go into schools and run fun and hands-on science workshops so that pupils can get an idea of what its like to do science and engineering in their future careers.

  If you could have a body super power, what would it be and why?

  Which Olympic event would you most like to win? And why?
