Meet our physics and astronomy students and alumni

We asked some of our students and graduates to share their experiences of studying physics and astronomy at the University of Sheffield.

I got to work with my supervisor on an interesting research project that has been published in the Astrophysical Journal

Jessica Diamond MPhys Physics and Astrophysics

During her time at the University of Sheffield, Jessica has enjoyed taking part in research projects. Jessica also spent an Industrial Placement Year at EDF (UK) as a Nuclear Analysis placement student.

My SURE project taught me some more advanced Python skills and improved my problem solving skills

Zuzanna Leliwa MPhys Physics

Since starting her degree, Zuzanna has enjoyed getting involved with interesting experimental projects, where she has developed valuable skills such as coding and problem solving.

I have enjoyed my course a lot and I feel prepared to go to the job market and use my skills in a professional setting

Lucca Johann Leal BSc Theoretical Physics

Lucca has enjoyed the opportunity to do projects and learn the foundations of what makes good research. In addition to physics skills, Lucca has developed his problem-solving, teamwork and public speaking skills during his time at Sheffield studying Theoretical Physics.

I've learnt so many things, met wonderful people and grown to be someone my younger self would have looked up to

Jasvinder Khaulsay MPhys Physics and Astrophysics

As an international student, Jasvinder considered both the city and the structure of the degree when choosing the University of Sheffield for her degree. Since joining, Jasvinder has enjoyed carrying out an astronomy project in her third year, which included a field trip to La Palma in the Canary Islands.

I have seen great development both in my personal and professional life

Having a specific goal to work towards allowed me to get really invested in one area of physics

All the different modules which I have been able to take have been extremely interesting
