discussions and taking initiative to set myself tasks when the next stage of the project is not clear. Given
the role of electronics supervisor I am responsible for setting goals and ensuring all the electronic system
designs are realised on time and meet the specifications of the project.

This challenging project took place over the entirety of my third year. It required excellent planning and
organisational skills, and the ability to teach myself an entirely new and complex subject. The project was
a success, with the system being able to localise a radioactive source down to 3cm within a 600m3 sensor
array. This project has been suggested for publication by my supervisor.

Interests and extra-curricular activity


{ I was a "fresher representative" in my 2nd and 3rd years of university, this required me to guide, look after,
and ensure that a particular flat of first years have a good time in their first week, and feel consoled in
what for most of them is there first time living away from home. We were responsible for the safety and
wellbeing of the group of first years during the first week, and during this time I made good friends with
all of them.
{ I am a member of a number of university societies. I was also the vice president and co-founder of the
flash mob society. My roles in this included recruiting members, in which during "freshers fair" we enlisted
over 200 new members. This was regarded as very successful, considering other societies averaged around

helped organise the events. One of these events was featured in the local newspaper.
