University of Salford

• Student (Acoustics BEng)

  • Sep 2010 - Jun 2014

  Graduated with a 2:1 (Hons) degree, averaging a first in the final year.The final year consisted of a project with dissertation. The project title was an Investigation into the feasibility of a Bone Conduction Head And Torso Simulator. The project looked at the history of Bone Conduction and looked to measure the deviation in human responses to Bone Conduction for possible later use for designing the Bone Conduction measurement apparatus. When marked, the project received a first.The degree also covered courses in:- Environmental and Industrial noise control- DSP- Room Acoustics- Speech Technology- Sound Reproduction- Computer Simulation- Programming using C++, C# and Matlab- Psychoacoustics- Electroacoustics The degree was a 3 year course with an optional sandwich year where students could try to find a job in the industry for a year to gain experience. This was when I spent my year with Plantronics as an Intern.

• Engineering Intern

  • Jul 2012 - Jun 2013

  The Engineering Internship that i undertook with Plantronics specified mainly on acoustical work. The role gave me experience testing audio communication devices acoustically for customer support and competitive studies. During my time at Plantronics I did a research project during the year which involved large scale testing, problem solving, report writing and a presentation to managers and a project development team. I also did several site visits to call centres to carry out noise exposure testing.The year was a great opportunity to experience an engineering job role involving acoustics and, gave me a good impression on how a large international company operates as a whole in its different departments.

  • Jun 2011 - Aug 2011

  Spent a summer assisting a member of the Urology department at Southmead Hospital on a project he proposed.Once a week I would travel to the hospital to work in the department. The project involved producing early designs and testing of a measuring device designed around a limited budget. This meant problem solving, such as the low cost and technical issues needed to be taken into account. There was also large amounts of testing and analysing measurements.
