<p class="ecxMsoNoSpacing" style="line-height:

whether there are any opportunities within your department
this summer, be it research related or something more
generic. </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:
21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; color: rgb(68,
68, 68); font-size: 15px;">I am a 3<sup style="line-height:
17.749998092651367px;">rd</sup> year student studying
Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. I am very
passionate about both of these subjects and I am a keen
amateur astronomer. </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:
21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; color: rgb(68,
68, 68); font-size: 15px;">I would love the chance to work in
an active research environment and I believe the experience
would be invaluable. I am a keen advocate of science and the
scientific method, I try to convey this through being one of
26,000 STEM (the Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics Network) Ambassadors across the UK and from there
have become a demonstrator for the Astronomy Outreach Program
run by Glasgow University. </p>

21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; color: rgb(68,
68, 68); font-size: 15px;">I also have experience of both
hands-on practical and computational laboratories in both
physics and astronomy. I am competent with Matlab and Linux
and have used a Raspberry Pi to control a remote controlled
car.</p>

various part time jobs I have had during my studies giving me
real world experience.</p>
