      A large green house gas sampling rig over a lake in Sweden.

      It is like one of the camera systems used in big stadiums, there was lots of large heavy engineering and a limited budget.

      But after a year of very hard work we installed it before christmas….and it works!!!

      The most challenging assignment I got was when I was doing my Masters degree which involved programming and analysing data to create a new model. I had no idea what the lecturer wanted me to do and I didn’t know how to do it. We only had a few weeks to complete the work and I had other assignments to do at the same time. I had a lot of late nights and long days to figure out what I needed to do, and I did a lot of reading and learning to help me. I like to think I did it to a high standard, I did very well in the piece of work so I was happy! I even handed it in a bit early!

      The most challenging assignment that I had to do was my bachelor’s dissertation. I had to use a coding program (Matlab) that I had no idea how to use. I remember one month before my submission date, I only had 4 hours sleep per night, those days were very difficult. But I managed to finish my dissertation to a very high standard, and the hard work paid off 😀
