Intern at Lunar and Planetary Institute

• Jun 2016 - Aug 2016

One of 12 students selected to participate in the 2016 LPI Summer Intern Program in Planetary Science. I worked on a 10-week summer project at the NASA Johnson Space Center studying the petrology and chemistry of igneous clasts in howardite meteorites to determine the origins of the clasts, and to test the hypothesis that Vesta differentiated via a near-global magmatic stage. Gained experience in petrology and in using electron microprobes to analyse pyroxene and plagioclase compositions.

Work Experience in Contaminated Land and Water team

• Aug 2015 - Aug 2015

Project examining hydrocarbon contamination of the Fell Sandstone aquifer, NE England. Critically evaluated the risk assessment and closure report for the suspected source of hydrocarbon contamination, a decommissioned petrol station, and borehole data for the Fell Sandstone aquifer to determine whether remediation was sufficient or not and what further work was necessary. Concluded that no further work was necessary and that remediation efforts were sufficient. Project examining hydrocarbon contamination of the Fell Sandstone aquifer, NE England.

BP-sponsored summer internship

• Jun 2014 - Aug 2014

10-week paid summer internship, Earth Sciences Department, Durham University, sponsored by BP. I constructed and used karst analogue apparatus in experiments examining the uptake of Mg and Sr during aragonite precipitation under different conditions. Gained experience using ICP-MS, SEM, XRD, Excel and Grapher, conducted extensive research and produced a 4,500 word report on the results. Presented findings to BP and was highly praised for presentation skills.

Open Day Ambassador

• Jun 2014 - Jun 2014

Represented the university by conducting tours of the Earth Sciences department for prospective students and their parents, answering questions and enthusing prospective students about the course, facilities and university experience.

Work Experience in synthetic chemistry research laboratories

• Feb 2012 - Feb 2012

Assisted synthetic chemists in research laboratories synthesizing novel ingredients for herbicides, one week – February 2012. Learnt new laboratory techniques and carried out each experiment producing a brand new compound which went on for further testing. Highly praised for independence, confidence and safe laboratory practice. Assisted synthetic chemists in research laboratories synthesizing novel ingredients for herbicides, one week – February 2012.
