Summary |
University of Strathclyde 2006-2007 - MSc Bioengineering,
From my MSc in Bioengineering I have been able to further my knowledge of engineering principles and use them to address biomedical issues.
I was given a 4 week intensive course in medical science where I learnt about physiology, anatomy and cell biology. This has given me knowledge of the major organ systems, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system and excitable tissues.
I have studied biomechanics where I have learnt to model biological environments to determine forces on joints and study the loads and deformations that can affect the properties of living tissue.
I have used VICON motion analysis systems and force plate data to analyze and diagnose gait problems.
I have knowledge of the various types of prosthetics and orthotics available and the health conditions that call for such devices.
I have studied biomaterials and am aware of the biocompatibility issues surrounding them.
My research project this year was the design of instrumentation to measure the loads applied by the hand when opening child-resistant closures.
University of Strathclyde 2002-2006 - BEng (Hons) Product Design Engineering
From my first degree I have established a thorough knowledge of what it takes to bring a new product to the market.
I am experienced in using SWOT and PEST analysis to gain a broad view of current market situations.
I am well practised in concept generation techniques such as convergence matrixes and function trees and have used ‘Design For Manufacture & Assembly’ and ‘Concurrent Engineering’ methodologies to drive a project forward successfully.
I am fully aware of the ‘Design For Environment’ principles that are becoming an increasingly important issue in modern manufacturing.
I am knowledgeable in all modern manufacturing techniques and material advancements.
I have studied Supply Chain Management techniques where I have used computer simulations to model production lines in an attempt to reduce lead times and inventory with a view to moving towards ‘Just In Time’ production.
I have studied the issues associated with intellectual property including patent control and licensing.
I have vast experience working in design teams and understand how crucial good leadership, project planning and time management is to the successful introduction of a new product.
Throughout my university career I have used 2D/3D CAD modelling software such as Solidworks and AutoCAD to develop designs and create comprehensive layout drawing packs.
I have experience in Finite Element Analysis and have used programs such as Pro Engineer and I-DEAS to simulate, validate and optimize products. |
Work Experience |
Before university I completed a week’s work experience at a product design engineering company (Mitchell Design Engineers) and then I gained experience maintaining inventory for an entire warehouse during my stay in Vancouver, Canada in the summer of 2003.

Comments/ Hobbies/ Interests etc: |
I attended Dunoon Grammar School where in my final year I was voted house captain by my fellow students. This role has given me valuable leadership and organization experience as my responsibilities were managing school events and representing my house at student meetings. I also participated in a scheme called “Bookbusters” which involved taking on a younger pupil and helping them to improve there reading on a one to one level. I also won a special prize for excellence in technology and participated in Welcome Host training.
During the summer of 2006 I went travelling around South East Asia where I toured Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Spending time in these countries was an enlightening experience that let me see at close hand a variety of cultures, it has also given me a greater respect for the opportunities that we in the western world have and all too often take for granted. I enjoy an active social life with my friends where I love going to concerts around some of the smaller venues in Glasgow. I am a keen golfer and also enjoy cooking and playing guitar.
I am a confident clear communicator who can hold their own in a team environment, presenting to an audience or as a one to one tutor. I can build a good rapport with new people and can confidently sell a product. I currently hold a clean driving licence and have accredited qualifications in customer service.
