Summary
Currently, I am studying Maths, Further Maths, and Physics, with predicted grades of A*, A, and B respectively. I am really interested in learning how engineering projects move from a design or idea to a functioning part or system. While my future trajectory will hopefully lead to a career in aerospace, I believe it is important that I develop a good understanding of how ideas can be tweaked to suit real world applications.
