Helleik Syse

 

MSc: Sustainable Engineering: Renewable Energy Systems and the Environment

 

Background: Petroleum Engineering BEng (UiS)

 

Experience: During his studies in petroleum engineering, Helleik became increasingly interested in the energy solutions of the future, and more specifically, the role of renewables. After working for some time at Halliburton after his studies, he parted way with the oil and gas industry and started his MSc in Renewable Energy Systems. The idea

of researching Eigg appealed to him as it requires a mix of solution, many of which might be transfarable to Island communities back in his home country, Norway.

Fraser Stevenson

 

 

MSc: Sustainable Engineering: Renewable Energy Systems and the Environment

 

Background: Biomedical Engineering BEng (UoG)

 

Interest: Fraser has a personal interest in the island of Eigg spending much time in the area walking and sailing. The concept of working with a community level, real world project is what made him choose this project. Fraser felt like a change in career path was need after his first degree so opted for the field of renewable energy.

Jack Byres

 

MSc: Sustainable Engineering: Renewable Energy Systems and the Environment

 

Background: MSci in Physics (UoG)

 

Interest: Having become extremely interested in the energy industry and its coupling with the environment during his undergraduate degree, Jack decided to pursue a career within sustainable energy. The prospect of a project relating to the real world and all the challenges that come with it appealed immensely to Jack. This was an opportunity to test theoretical knowledge when framed in a social and economic context. The project has been highly rewarding and enjoyable!

Amy Crum

 

MSc: Sustainable Engineering: Offshore Renewable Energy

 

Background: Biomedical Engineering BEng (UoG)

 

Interest: Prior to beginning the project, Amy already had experience in distributed generation. While varied, her key specialisation was in rural developing communities, coinciding with her ongoing work with WindAid Institure NGO. Matching this with a love for the outdoors and the Scottish highlands, this project spiked her interest immediately. She finds the potential for such a sustainable community so close to home appealing.
