Sharaz: doing high-profile maths

Sharaz is one of our graduates in Cyber and Information Systems (CIS) who joined with a Masters in Mathematics.

Joining the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has been a wonderful experience for Sharaz. He talks favourably about his work and the people here:

바카라 사이트It바카라 사이트s been great to use my mathematics without going down the corporate finance path. I get to do higher-level, more interesting maths.

바카라 사이트My work is split between projects. Some have mature technology which has immediate real-life impact and others are more long-term research-level projects. It바카라 사이트s so satisfying to really delve into an idea. Having a mix really keeps things varied.바카라 사이트

And his co-workers are pretty good too:

바카라 사이트My colleagues are so interesting. Working alongside well-known scientists as a fresh graduate is very exciting. One colleague spent 20 years in academia researching Astrophysics. He바카라 사이트s great to be around and I love to absorb his knowledge and enthusiasm.

바카라 사이트The people at Dstl are very friendly and helpful. As a new member of the team you바카라 사이트re welcomed into the social circle. It바카라 사이트s flexible and inclusive and I바카라 사이트m happy to be working for the public sector.바카라 사이트

Sharaz has also been supported by his team leader to work towards a promotion; guiding him on training and how to impress at interview.

His advice for math graduates exploring their options:

바카라 사이트To anyone studying mathematics I would definitely recommend Dstl for a graduate role. You바카라 사이트re able to use more interesting, complicated mathematics. Whatever your specialism (dynamics, probability or algebra) there are lots of interesting opportunities here - and there aren바카라 사이트t many other places you can do those in such depth.바카라 사이트
