Cohort 5 2016-21

Ellis Taylor

I have a passion for learning new things and understanding the impact of human knowledge on shaping the world in which we live. This passion led me down the path of becoming a mechanical engineer. 

Tim Rooker

My involvement with the AMRC, my industrial sponsor and the Dynamics Research Group are invaluable for realising my goals; I feel very lucky to be conducting my doctoral studies within this environment in Sheffield.

Jonathan Walsh

During my physics undergraduate, my Masters project was in conjunction with the AMRC. After seeing the incredible facilities of the AMRC mixed with my own passion for both the application and development of technology, I knew I had to pursue an EngD position.

Fernando Cepero

I would like to improve my experience with composite materials because I enjoy researching this area. At the same time, I would like to increase my knowledge about Finite Element programs, which I find really interesting.

Chris Dredge

I enjoy researching and I want to make a contribution in an area that interests me. Doing an EngD is an important step for me to take in my career.

Matthew Brown

I wanted to continue in academia for a while longer while also gaining experience in industry. An EngD is a great half-way house between academia and industry particularly for those wanting to go into  industry afterwards.

Tom Helliwell

I wanted to do an EngD because I enjoy keeping the end customer in view whilst I complete the application-focused research, particularly if it is an aerospace company!

Nathan Dodd

Continued development is very important to me, and undertaking an EngD provides the opportunity to learn and train whilst applying knowledge to real industrial problems.
