The impact of Digital Research Infrastructure on research at Durham University
Intern: Louis Bedford
Degree course: MSc Scientific Computing & Data Analysis
LinkedIn

I completed my BSc in Physics at Durham University and am now studying for an MSc in Scientific Computing & Data Analysis also at Durham University. I enjoyed the scientific computing/modelling aspect of my undergraduate degree the most and wanted to expand my skills in this area. After graduation, I would like to work as a data scientist or machine learning engineer, perhaps for a high-level sporting institution. I would also be interested in becoming a scientific writer, as I enjoy explaining technical concepts and helping others to learn. Outside of academics, my passion is fencing, and I would love to be able to continue to compete at an international level or be involved in coaching, which is something I have found very rewarding during my time at university.

Why did you apply for this internship?
I am interested in becoming a scientific writer after graduation, and I believe this internship will provide invaluable experience in a similar area.

What do you hope to gain in completing this project?
I hope to gain confidence in talking with experts in their field and asking the right questions, synthesising this information to create a compelling piece of work, and through this improve my scientific writing skills.
