Third year undergraduate studying Mechanical Engineering, The University of Warwick

"I joined Warwick to study mechanical engineering partly because of Warwick Racing, and due to the facilities and reputation. Warwick Racing is our universities extra-curricular, student run Formula student team, for which I’ve now been voted to be Team Principal. Every year we design, build and test a new car and compete against other universities at the annual competition at Silverstone in July."

“Science is a fascinating and rewarding career. It includes a variety of interesting challenges and an opportunity to have genuine impacts on national and international policy and, in my case, health outcomes for millions of people. That is a great privilege."

Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, Department of Life Sciences, The University of Warwick

“Initially, I just wanted to be a researcher and travel the world. Now, as I start my own research group, my goal is to establish myself as a scientist and help train the next generation, especially women, to find their passion in science. I want to encourage others to be excited about research and to create a team that produces quality, dependable science."
