I noticed that these modules all had something in common: they had strong computational themes, such as FEEG1001 Design and Computing, where we were given a thorough introduction to Python (this is also how I met my supervisor &#8211; Hans Fangohr &#8211; whose lectures I thoroughly enjoyed); FEEG2001 Systems Design and Computing, where I chose the UAV design, built and test project and was responsible for the programming of the on-board arduino flight computer in C++.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences led me to choose a computation-based third-year Individual Project. The project involved magnetic skyrmions, simulations and plenty of coding. I definitely enjoyed it and by the time it finished I felt like I was only just getting started. My 10 week Vacation Research Project, based at the new Boldrewood Innovation Campus is a continuation of this project.<\/p>\n<p><u>Tell us about your specific research project:<\/u><u>\u00a0<\/u>Skyrmions are magnetic topological features found in nano-films and bulks of certain materials. This research project will continue my previous studies into determining the potential of skyrmions for use in energy-efficient, high-density data storage devices<\/p>\n<p><u>Describe any future plans regarding on-going study\/postgraduate research connected to your Vacation Bursary project:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>I never really thought of myself as a person who would become a PhD candidate, as I could never think of a topic I\u2019d be willing enough to research. However, this project has been both enjoyable and rewarding and I could certainly see myself continuing it in future. To what extend? I\u2019m not sure. Fortunately I will have the whole of fourth-year to decide, and I\u2019m hoping the module FEEG6002 (Advanced Computational Methods 1) which I am taking next year will provide further background to any future studies.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the EPSRC Vacation Bursaries Scheme 2015 Student name: Xander Marjoram Student degree course: Aeronautics &amp; Astronautics\/Spacecraft Engineering Year of study: 3 Supervisor: Hans Fangohr I\u2019m a third- (going on fourth-) year undergraduate studying Aerospace Engineering, and some of the modules that I\u2019ve studied over the last few years have been very enjoyable.
