PhD student

On my six-month placement I was able to solve a problem that the organisation I worked at had faced for a number of years.

Molly did a six-month at CooperVision, one of the world’s leading contact lens manufacturers. She worked on a research project looking at a defect that occurred now and again in a certain type of lens. She was able to determine the impurity responsible for this defect, which solved a problem that the organisation had faced for a number of years.
