Summer Internship
In summer 2019, I completed a paid Internship at the University of Kent with Dr James Urquhart. The project for the internship was titled ‘Determining the statistical lifetimes of high mass stars’. During this project, I classified over 3000 stellar objects, from the ATLASGAL catalogue, using multiwavelength data from HiGAL and GLIMPSE. Python was used for graphical analysis of the classification groups, and the final report was written in LaTeX via Overleaf; this work is presently being written up for publication. This internship greatly expanded my understanding about star formation and the classification processes and broadened my skillset by introducing me to data basing via SequelPro.
-Excellent time management, planning and organisational skills due to managing my workload, societies, sports clubs and committee.
- Work well as part of a team such as completing group project work and collaborating with other members of societies to run events.
- Great communication developed through work experience and being a student rep and peer mentor.
- Able to learn and adapt quickly, shown through learning the classification process and new Python skills during a summer internship.
- Technical Skills; LaTeX, SequelPro, Python, HTML, MATLAB and Excel.
