      • Dec 2016 - Jan 2021

      Since 2016, I have tutored nearly 200 sessions of maths and physics to 15 different students.Initially, I had the job to gain work experience that was flexible and paid, while also being relevant to my degree subject. However, the experience of getting to know and seeing first-hand the progress of students that find themselves in situations that were very similar to my own has been more rewarding than I had originally expected.Personally, this has been the perfect opportunity for me to practise communicating abstract ideas in a way that is easily understandable and at least slightly interesting. If it isn’t, I need to come up with another explanation quickly. This has developed my communication skills to such an extent, I sometimes wonder whether I end up benefitting more from each session than the students do…I’ve been fortunate enough to collect several very generous reviews from students and their parents; they can be seen on my tutoring profile (attached link). Over 99% of my sessions have been given a five-star rating.

      • Jun 2019 - Aug 2019

      During the summer vacation, I completed a research internship in Prof. Stefan Kraus' protoplanetary disks research group. My work mainly involved running instances of a Monte-Carlo radiative-transfer code on the university's supercomputer to determine how changing characteristic parameters of a disk affected its spectral energy distribution and temperature/density profiles. Specifically, we wanted to demonstrate the impact that disk winds have on these observables.My work initially involved reading the relevant literature to find out which values of the parameters gave meaningful results and to find out which models had been previously explored. I created an automated visualisation script based on the VisIt software package to analyse files generated by the simulations.I gained experience in a range of areas such as using Unix-like operating systems and Bash commands, which I had not used previously.

      I worked at XJump when back home during university vacations. My work included; responding to emails, answering phone calls, creating bookings and – occasionally – dealing with disapproving customers and complaints. I worked closely with my colleagues to ensure that the building was clean and that the customers’ experiences were enjoyable. Unfortunately the company entered liquidation in January 2019.
