nationally and internationally. Carl has given time and support over many years to create his company’s unique Undergraduate Internship Programme, which he attributes to the extraordinary Professors and Academic Staff in Durham Physics. The programme provides students, across all academic disciplines, opportunities in R&D and employment, in term-time, holiday and summer project environments. This gives undergraduate Physics, Engineering, Science, Law, Arts, Social Sciences and Business students an opportunity to tackle scientific problems, learn about industrial research, project planning and integrate their presentation, project and team-working skills in a high-exporting advanced manufacturing environment, overseen by Carl himself.
