With some initial computational work out of the way and a somewhat interesting eye test, this week I started work in the laser spectroscopy lab as part of my masters project. The plan is to identify the spectra of novel molecules that might be found in the interstellar medium. Not surprisingly, achieving this requires a […]

With the first term now underway it seems as good a time as any to give a summary of the masters year on the four-year natural sciences course, and what I’ll be writing about over the next nine months. Doing a masters in natural sciences consists of four modules running right through all three terms, […]

After a brief holiday away from Leicester I’ve been busying myself with the basics of microcontrollers in preparation for the fourth year programming module. This is something I’ve always wanted to get into, […]
