About Me:
I’m a PhD student living in Bristol, a city that I love! I like to read, draw, paint, play guitar, run and climb in my spare time.

Radioactivity can be dangerous for humans, so we try to avoid using people to go into nuclear areas – instead we can use robots! They never get tired, and can often get better results than humans.

My Typical Day:
I get up nice and early, eat some breakfast (i like crumpets!), and head over to the office or the lab. I spend my day designing robots, or reading about how I can design them better. I’ll usually go home around 5pm, and then cook myself dinner, before going climbing or running!

My Interview
-
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Nuclear robot guy
What did you want to be after you left school?
I had no idea! I wish I did, but inspiration came to me later.
Were you ever in trouble at school?
On occasions for getting a bit too chatty with my pals, or not doing work that I should have, but nothing major!
Who is your favourite singer or band?
Dave Matthews
What's your favourite food?
A good roast dinner
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
1) I wish I'd applied myself a bit more in school, as it would have taken much less time to get to where I am now! 2) I wish I'd learnt to be kinder to myself sooner. I was my own worst critic for a long time! 3) I wish I'd travelled more in my early 20s. There is still time though I guess!
