I am French but a student in the United Kingdom. I am in my 5th year of a master in 5 years of Physics in Astrophysics at the University of St Andrews in Scotland (graduating June 2007). I have received the French Baccalaureate in Science with speciality Mathematics with Mention Bien.
I did several internships in Astronomy during my summers, developing my interest in research and creating a network of relations in several institutes throughout Europe (Bordeaux, St Andrews, Geneva, Jena, Tautenburg, Leiden, Brussels, Paris, Aveiro, Lisboa). I also had many student and summer jobs.
Eventually, I am planning to start a PhD in Astrophysics and do research in that field. Nevertheless, any job offers in industrial research, teaching, or international cooperation is warmly welcomed. I am quite open.

The Captain is responsible for making sure the ringing happens when it is needed and according to the personnal available at the time. He is taking care of the accounts and of the budget.
Contact with children of varous ages
Helping children living in deprived areas
The Access Centre helps local children to get an access and a secured position in the Univeristy. Several projects are underway, starting from S3 up to the day when they enter St Andrews or any other higher education institution.
I give education support to a 13 to 14 year old child per year, meeting with him once every 3 weeks and keeping in touch through email. The aim is to realise a 3000 word essay and a PowerPoint presentation.
A second project was to accompany several children in their visit of the University and show them what life as a student is.
