MSE Work Shadowing Day 9!

Today our mentor gave us the opportunity to go to another lab to learn from another researcher, named Ms Shubah. The day started at the e-space where we spent a little time with our group-mates and our mentor for the first week to rehearse our presentation for the innovative challenge. After that we went to meet Ms Shubah who showed us around the lab she was working in and explained to us the technology of the batteries. She explained really thoroughly what each machine was for and the theory behind everything. Unfortunately due to the malfunction of one of the machines we were unable to use it to do some practical things. However, we stil learned alot from her as she told us how it was like working as a researcher, doing her phD and all that. From her, we learnt that a researcher has to be super committed to actually get things done. This day has marked the end of our attachment with Mr Aravinder Vanchiappan, our mentor too. Even though it was only a short 4 days, he still taught us alot and actually took time to accompany us even though he's a very busy man. He even took the initiative to get to know us better and really took care of us. Thank You Mr Aravinder!
