I specialize in acoustic levitation, but I like studying computer science and maths in my free time. It gives me more options and more perspectives to see from.
My engineering related hobby is robotics and software, so i’m often learning new software languages (there are so many!) or researching what is new in the robotics world. Robots are awesome and they have to be programmed with software!
As an engineer working at a university, I get to study a lot of things. Recently we’ve been talking to patients to get their thoughts on the medical implants they have – often they’re a bit forgotten in the design process, so it’s very helpful to get their perspective – and sometimes it is changing what we do.
At school, I really enjoyed Physics. At university, my favourite study aspect was fluid dynamics and thermodynamics – we learnt a lot about dialysis machines and how changing the flow of fluid altered the performance of the machine.
At school I was always interested in D&T and physics, and good at maths. I always took things apart to see how they were made, so engineering seemed a good fit and I certainly don’t regret it. Nowadays just reading about upcoming technologies is fascinating to see what others are accomplishing around the world. #nerdnews
My engineering hobby is 3D printing. I have designed and printed everything from gadgets to help with my DIY, to repairing my chair, bike or making a fantasy setting. I love the challenge of designing something new or in a better way and then seeing it come to life. In this area I think the next leap in technology will be from non planar 3D printing to get rid of those pesky layer lines.
I studied electrical and electronic engineering in uni which I loved. Nowadays, I enjoy reading up on new technologies especially when it comes to consumer electronics.

I like learning new things about robots, by going to robotics shows, looking at websites and writing code to make robots do things.
In my job I get to use this knowledge to make the robots put things together or test things in factories. Robots are super cool!
