Materials Researcher/ Metallurgist intern - Alloyed (8 weeks - 2022)

• During this internship, I led a research project for the company where I investigated news ways of increasing the high temperature creep life of additively manufactured Nickel-based superalloy components. This was for aerospace applications. 

• I also gained experience in working and thriving in a fast-paced industrial environment, and working with the rest of the team to continually produce market-leading products. 

 

Materials Researcher - Oxford University Materials Science Department Internship (8 weeks - 2021)

• A competitive and prestigious opportunity funded by the Henry Royce Institute. This was awarded to only three people in the Oxford University Materials Science Department and a total of 33 people across the UK this year.

• Researched the effects of high-pressure-torsion on the irradiation resistance of Eurofer-97 using nano-indentation.

• Led my own research into the bond characteristics of accumulatively roll-bonded aluminium-copper samples using scanning electron microscopy.

• Lead independent data analyst on both projects. I utilised Matlab coding to clean, analyse, and create meaningful insights from multiple large and complex datasets (over 150,000 measurements per dataset).

• Presented my research to the Materials For Fusion Power (MFFP) group at Oxford University.

• Published a paper on my work with Eurofer-97. 

 

Materials Consultant - Oxford University 3rd-Year Materials Science Team Design Project (2 weeks - 2021)

• Led a team of seven material scientists to create a viable innovative solution which would significantly reduce the background hydrogen and overall contaminant concentration in atom-probe instruments.

• Resulted in a proposed solution and a new atom-probe design that was presented to examiners at the Oxford University Materials Science Department.

 

Business Consultant - The Student Consultancy, Oxford University And Criterium Solutions, (6 weeks - 2021)

• Led a team of six undergraduates to analyse the halal food industry and identify where new standards should be set whilst being culturally sensitive to Islamic religion. We then identified where blockchain technology could be utilised to streamline the farm-to-fork process, and ensure that customer trust is maintained.

• This opportunity developed my client relation, efficient researching, collaboration, and problem-solving skills

 

Business Consultant - The Oxford Strategy Challenge (TOSCA) (2 weeks - 2021)

• Led a team of four to advise HYPE, a hydrogen-fuelled taxi company, on their entry into the UK market.

• Resulted in a proposed optimal market entry location and a progression timeline for maximal growth and profit.

• Developed my teamwork, organisation, delegation, presentation, and communication skills.

 

Data Consultant - Blonde Money Internship (5 weeks - 2020)

• Independent lead researcher on two projects, and I presented my work on a weekly basis to senior data analysts.

• Project 1: I used Matlab, regression models, and time-series analysis to analyse large datasets describing economic effects due to COVID-19 and predict economic recovery rates. This resulted in published work to paying clients.

• Project 2: Mathematical modelling of a new economic theory based around pandemic effects on economic sectors.

 

Joint Consultative Committee of Undergraduates, Oxford University Materials Science Department (2019-2023)

• As a representative on the JCCU, I listen to the views of my peers and work with others to improve the educational environment for undergraduates at the Oxford University Materials Department. This has developed my organisation, teamwork, and time-management skills.
