This summer Dr. James Sharp and I have had the great privilege to be joined by Prashant Jivan, Ailish Gray, and Max Butterworth, who are all undertaking undergraduate summer projects. They are at various stages of their degree studies and each on a different course within the Physics/Natural Sciences family.
Due to a couple of projects being almost at an end, and the timings of holidays, today was the last chance for us all to get together and celebrate the students’ excellent achievements. Each has conducted full-time research in an academic environment, as well as participating in formal weekly group meetings to present their results and findings.
This summer has been made a lot brighter by the students’ presence here with us in our research groups. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing their journeys of scientific discovery. I hope this taste of research life is helpful in guiding Prashant, Ailish, and Max on the paths they choose to take through the remainder of their studies and beyond. Thanks and good luck!
