A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NUCLEAR MATERIALS ENGINEER
1 My career ______(21) a planned one in any way. At school I was athletic; I ran and played
badminton to a high standard when I was young and always thought my career would be a
sporting one ______(22) I suffered an injury during my teens. The rest of my family was academic;
my father was an aerodynamic engineer and my mother a mathematician, ______(23) my sister

At the age of 16, I attended a Women in Science and Engineering careers week with
school, just to have a look at what was available. This helped me decide that ______(24) I really
wanted to do was an engineering degree, so I chose to do a BEng in materials science and
engineering at Liverpool University, and then went on to do a PhD.
10 My PhD looked at auxetic polymeric materials. No one ______(25) of them: they get fatter as
you stretch them, _____(26) is very novel, and at the time there were only a handful of researchers
in the world working on these. The PhD started my interest in polymeric materials. Towards the

15 During my time at CRL I ______(28) on secondment to the Sellafield site in Cumbria, which
then turned into a permanent position in the research and technology materials and inspection
group. During this time I became a chartered engineer and a full professional member of the
Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining. I now head up one of Sellafield’s Centres of
Expertise (CoE): I am the CoE lead and subject matter expert for polymeric materials. Recently

I definitely don’t have a “typical day”. I sometimes have a plan, but ______(30) stick to it as
much of my work is responsive to situations which are transient. The range of things I can get
involved in is huge and includes specifying materials for use in challenging environments, new
plant designs and decommissioning activates.
