Profile

My Work: I am an Electronics Engineer. I build systems using hardware and software.

My Typical Day: I wake up and have breakfast (Sandwich and porridge or cereals). I get to work at 9am, where I do lots of experiments in the lab. Then I have lunch with friends, and in the afternoon it’s back to the lab to look at my results. Go home at 6pm on a lucky day ;). Then do some sport activity like badminton, table tennis, fencing!

What I'd do with the money: I would use the money to organize talks about science and engineering for students across Ireland and to buy some raw material for hands-on activities to encourage participation of students in a STEM career.
