The University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University are launching a new Centre for Doctoral Training Programme focussing on generation-after-next technologies for information processing in defence & security, spanning the entire range from hardware development to algorithmic AI development
Why did you choose to study at the University of Edinburgh?
I chose to study at the University of Edinburgh because I wanted to delve into the sustainable energy industry but felt I lacked the foundational knowledge. The University's intriguing research and facilities (such as Flowave Ocean Energy Research Facility) captured my interest.
Additionally, the allure of the stunning city of Edinburgh sealed the deal for me!
Why did you choose to study at the University of Edinburgh?
As a European student who applied before the Brexit vote, I chose to study at the University of Edinburgh because of its relatively high ranking and low fees. Other options I was considering were a number of universities in the UK as well as the more conventional engineering path in my home country, France.
Brathikan is our enthusiastic student with a background in mechanical engineering. He has a strong interest in renewable energy and hands-on experience in various aspects of research, innovation, and education. In his previous roles, he worked as part of a research centre, contributing to projects related to Compressed Air Energy Storage. Additionally, as an assistant professor, he had the opportunity to guide students in practical applications like Ansys and Abaqus, and I also developed curriculum content for online learning in mechanical engineering. His journey reflects a dedication to sustainable solutions and a passion for fostering learning in the field of engineering.
