      Hi Zach,

      My typical day involves checking my emails to begin with, then getting on with some computer work using models of aeroplane parts to predict the structural performance. I may go to the lab at some point and do some testing to check the predictions using lab equipment. I normally go for a run at lunch time and have a sandwich and some crisps. In the afternoon I continue working until my girlfriend comes home from her job. I often have reports to write which i enjoy and presentations to share results with other people.

      Cheers,
      Tom
