Having always been an enthusiast for the world of science, I dove head first into the opportunity to study a multidisciplinary course and I haven't regretted it since. I have learned so much and have honed skills such as problem-solving, critical and analytical thinking, teamwork, and organization. These capabilities go hand in hand with the experience that I've garnered from working in communications and administration. Over time, my skills will increase in quality and quantity but as for now my passion and eagerness are at a constant peak.
At the ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility, I worked with the crystallography team. I learned various techniques, including spectroscopy, magnetometry, and diffraction/scattering. My main focus was on studying materials under extreme conditions, such as high pressure and temperature. I gained hands-on experience with powder and single-crystal X-ray diffractometers, as well as the PEARL instrument, the dedicated high-pressure neutron diffractometer at ISIS.
Facilitated hour-long study sessions with first-year students to support their learning and development of key skills needed for their course. Communicated with students and my partner to plan and present weekly topics and provide the necessary resources.
Represented the interests and concerns of my fellow first-year chemical physicists. Communicated with the School of Chemistry and Physics and provided feedback to help with the overall learning experience. Built strong relationships with my peers and facilitated study sessions.
