My Interview

• What's the best thing you've done in your career?

  I think the teaching bit, I love tinkering on my own, but it is great to inspire the next generation

  What or who inspired you to follow your career?

  Not a who, a what, I loved taking things apart to see how they worked, then see if I could put them back together in different ways, my parents were very understanding when I inevitably had a ‘spare’ screw

  What did you want to be after you left school?

  I always wanted to be a scientist, at school I wanted to do astrophysics though

  If you weren't doing this job, what would you choose instead?

  I can’t imagine not doing science and engineering, its fundamental to who I am

  What's your favourite food?

  ice-cream

  What is the most fun thing you've done?

  blowing bubbles, I love bubbles :)
