Name: Sharada Joshi
School: Tiffin girls’ school
Areas of study: Physics, Chemistry,
Maths, Further Maths.
Future University, I am
applying to:
I am planning to apply to the following universities: Cambridge, Imperial and Bath.
Career hopes: Chemical Engineering.
Why I applied for the
placement:
To experience what experience what engineering would be like at university and
to learn something new during my summer vacation!
My Project: My project investigated
how inorganic and organic solar cells work and the potential advantages and
disadvantages of organic solar cell usage in the future. The code which models
the structure of an organic solar cell was also analysed and modified to optimise
the I-V characteristics produced in order for the code to be used as an example
on the Silvaco website.
How I benefited from the
placement:
This experience has taught me to prioritise tasks when planning and also to
allow more time for unforeseen circumstances when making an initial plan for a project.
I have also learnt that it is not always possible to learn all the theory
before doing a practical task, as is often the case at school. However, it was an
amazing experience to learn about so many new concepts that build upon the
foundations laid at school in such a short amount of time!
