Name of Student:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Ekaterina Zossimova<\/p>\n

Degree Subject<\/span><\/span>:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>MPHYS Physics with Study in New Zealand<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>PHD Physics<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Job Title:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 Research Assistant in Acoustics (Physics)<\/p>\n

Company Name:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, University of Exeter<\/p>\n

Type of Internship:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Student Campus Partnerships (SCPs) <\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What were your key duties and responsibilities during your internship?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fabrication of underwater thermo-acoustic devices for experiments. Building heat transfer simulations on FORTRAN to model the thermo-acoustic device in different mediums.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What outputs and outcomes did you deliver for your\u00a0employer?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Fabricated and tested a successful underwater thermo-acoustic device. Produced heat simulation models of the system in air and water.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. What was your biggest achievement on your internship?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Making the devices was a trial and error process, so it took patience and several unsuccessful attempts before creating a working device. After each attempt, it was necessary to pin point which step in the fabrication process was damaging the device and then alter the fabrication method in line with the findings. This process led to a thermo-acoustic device that could be tested underwater.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Skills Learnt\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  “It was a really valuable experience that allowed me to get involved with cutting edge research in the CEMPS department at Exeter. It gave me the opportunity to network with PhD students and find out about their research projects. This experience has helped me to shape my future career plans and I will be returning to the University of Exeter in January as a postgraduate research student.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
