I studied at the University of Cape Town between 2004 - 2007. I studied a bachelor of science in engineering, electro-mechanical engineering. I then worked in industry in Cape Town for a year and a half for a company that designs and builds LED light displays.
I have come to AIMS to learn more about mathematics, firstly because it is something I have always been interested in, and secondly to improve my career opportunities by studying further after AIMS either in mathematics or in engineering.
One field i'm am quite interested in is the finite element method (FEM). FEM can be applied to engineering very well please take a look at Cerecam research centre and UCT: http://www.cerecam.uct.ac.za/
