My fascination with how our physical world is structured and the unique properties of matter under different conditions informed my decision to dedicate my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Physics. I have a specific interest in Theoretical Physics, black holes, Quantum Chrmodynamics, and Particle Physics. This is demonstrated by the modules I have chosen to attend throughout my undergraduate studies, such as ‘Cosmology and Galaxy formation” ,”Quantum Physics”, “Advanced Nuclear Astrophysics”, “Nuclear and Particle Physics” and “Special Relativity”. I am simply mesmerised by the secrets of the universe, which hold the answers to many questions, as long as we are able to look for them. I have completed modules that have promoted the development of a solid background in Physics, imperative for the aspects of this job. As an undergraduate student at the University of Surrey, I have completed computational and experimental assignments as well as literature reviews for most of my modules, which have helped me refine my analytical and critical thinking skills. I have also successfully modelled the expansion of the universe using a Python code in my 2nd year of studies, for the module of ‘Introduction to Astronomy’. Furthermore, throughout my first two years at university, I have completed experimental work for several modules and written essays of high scientific and academic standards on dark matter for the ‘Cosmology and Galaxy Formation’ module, and on “Superluminal Motion” as part of the ‘Special Relativity’ module. My undergraduate dissertation was a literature review on the Arrow of Time. I took a quantum thermodynamical approach to the problem by employing the theoretical experiment of Maxwell’s Demon as well as quantum clocks. Through this project I have deepened my knowledge on quantum thermodynamics and theoretical physics, which will certainly be useful. I have completed my Bachelor degree in Physics with Astrophysics with a First-Class Honours grade. For the past year I have been doing a Master’s degree in Physics (Research based) at the University of York. My research project involved the Experimental features of the Hyperon nucleon interactions that occur in the core of Neutron stars. Through this research project at the ...
