WHAT DO YOU DO?
Researcher and Lecturer in Structural Engineering
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
In year 6 , my primary school teacher gave me a trundle wheel and asked me to draw the plan of our school. I had never seen a plan in my life before. I measured and drew the plan of my school's two story building. The following year, I won first price for designing and building the best performing cardboard bridge at school. During this project, I researched many types of bridges and that's when I knew exactly what I want to do in the future.

BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
