A typical day for me means I get in to work around 7.30am before the rush of the work day starts, collecting data from equipment I had run overnight. At around 10am, I meet with my supervisor to discuss the plan for the week, before heading back to the office for some data analysis. I spend roughly 90% of my time between the labs and offices, with the rest made up of teaching or attending seminars and workshops run by the Doctoral College. The day ends (later than I care to mention!) setting up experiments to run overnight for collection the next day.
