Hydrogen Technology Engineer

I completed my undergraduate degree in Geography from Manchester Metropolitan University, from there I moved to Scotland and undertook my Masters in Energy Management, graduating with a distinction. This led me to start my PhD in Subsea Hydrogen Engineering.

My proudest moments so far:
Becoming one of the first Hydrogen Technology Engineers in industry.
 

What does a typical day at work look like for you?
