Joshua Dawes is 25 years old, from the UK and a final-year PhD student in Computer Science.
\nAlthough Joshua is studying his PhD with The University of Manchester, for the entire period of the
\nprogramme he’s actually based at CERN<\/a> in Geneva, Switzerland on CERN\u2019s Doctoral Student
\nprogramme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we find out more about Joshua’s research and why he came to choose to study Computer Science at Manchester…<\/p>\n

Hi Joshua, why did you want to study your PhD with The University of Manchester?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I actually did my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Maths here at The University of Manchester too. Part of my degree was a placement year and I did mine at CERN at the\u00a0CMS Experiment<\/a>. While I was there, my interest in doing a PhD after my bachelors reached its
\npeak and my team at CERN helped me to decide on a topic. At the same time, my future
\nsupervisor at Manchester was looking for PhD students and he had the perfect balance of
\ninterests for the idea we had at CERN\u2026after a short skype call, we had a project proposal
\nand an agreed supervision team. I got *ridiculously* lucky and ended up with an\u00a0unconventional but ultimately ideal supervision team!<\/p>\n

Can you tell us a little bit about your research?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I explain my research to anyone who asks, I start by saying that it’s aimed at automating, as much as possible, the analysis of
\nthe behaviour of computer programs. At the moment, the focus is on Python programs.
\nWhat actually happens to reach this goal consists of developing a lot of theory and then,
\nbased on the theory, implementing tools for developers to use. These tools let software
\nengineers:<\/p>\n

1) describe how their system should behave;<\/p>\n

2) check whether it\u2019s actually
\nbehaving like that when the program runs; and<\/p>\n

3) find the places where there might have been a deviation from expected behaviour, and then try to determine why.<\/p>\n

The tools are publicly available – http:\/\/cern.ch\/vypr<\/a> and the research is described in
\nsignificantly more detail in publications listed at http:\/\/cern.ch\/jdawes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

What do you enjoy most about studying\/researching?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I was lucky to be able to get a supervisor for my PhD who was interested in the applied
\naspect of what can be an extremely theoretical field. Of course there is a large
\ntheoretical aspect of my research, but there\u2019s an over-arcing theme of \u201cresearch from
\ndemand\u201d. In other words, when we develop theory we steer it by what we know is
\nneeded in our practical setting. This generally strengthens results and adds another layer
\nto the work we\u2019re doing: of course the main reason for doing everything is to get the PhD
\nat the end, but you\u2019re also working on a kind of product.<\/p>\n

From this \u201cproduct\u201d view comes a whole other area of things you have to learn about: how to market your research. Being
\ngood at this is really hard. Working out how to hit the mark with an audience who could
\nbenefit from your work (but whose interests are not in the research needed) takes
\npractice! This is one of the things I love about how my PhD has ended up.<\/p>\n

How do you see your time at The University of Manchester helping with your career<\/strong>
\nplans?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Technically my time at Manchester is also my time at CERN, and starting my career in an
\napplied environment, which is where I want to stay, has been perfect for me. CERN has
\nthe perfect mix of industry and academia; I can do research (engineering and theory) and
\npublish, and then there are places to actually apply what you\u2019ve worked on.<\/p>\n

Has your time studying at The University of Manchester & CERN caused you to rethink or alter<\/strong>
\nyour career plans?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My PhD has completely changed my career plans. When I first started, I was ready to be a
\ntheorist. But now I\u2019ve spent a lot of time in this world that\u2019s a mixture of theory and
\npractice, I want to stay. I enjoy working on theory, but ultimately what I really get
\nexcited about is seeing things being applied outside what I\u2019m familiar with.<\/p>\n

What would you say to people considering coming to Manchester to study?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I can\u2019t say anything about the environment for PhD students who are permanently here,
\nbut I support doing a split-site PhD* (working with industry, as long as there\u2019s a research
\nculture in the part of industry you work with).
\nDoing a split-site PhD can be tricky. There are different perspectives involved and,
\nultimately, the priority is for you to get your PhD, so you have to be careful to balance the
\nthings you\u2019re working on. For example, there have been moments when I\u2019ve been aware
\nthat what I was working on was no longer important for my PhD. These are the moments
\nthat shouldn\u2019t become too frequent.<\/p>\n

And outside university… what do you get up to in your spare time?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world, so I try to explore as much as I
\ncan. This includes little day trips, snowboarding in the Alps, longer breaks with my other
\nhalf or travelling for work.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI make sure to stay active by running and doing yoga (if you haven\u2019t, you should definitely
\ntry it – it\u2019s great). I can\u2019t emphasise enough the importance of being active (okay
\nsometimes I have periods, especially when I travel for work, where the active lifestyle
\ntakes a break).
\nFinally, since I live in the French-speaking region of Switzerland, I really enjoy using my
\nspare time to practice French. Whether it\u2019s talking to people or watching movies\u2026
\ninteracting in your second language is a unique experience.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us the best way for a student to do a similar programme to you and what opportunities there are available at CERN?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Firstly, CERN has a few student programmes for students at different stages in their studies. My
\nfirst contract with CERN was a Technical Studentship for 13 months. These contracts last
\nfor 6-14 months and give students a good feel for life at CERN and in the surrounding
\nregion.
\nAnother amazing opportunity at CERN is the Summer Student programme. This involves
\nstudents coming from all over the world for up to 3 months to see what exactly goes on
\nhere. At the time of writing this, I\u2019ve supervised three students on this programme and I
\ncan\u2019t emphasise enough how much people can take from it. I like to put it at least a bit
\ndown to my supervision, but the summer spent at CERN has enough impact that 2 out of
\nmy 3 past students have since applied to come back with longer-term contracts.<\/p>\n

Finally, I want to promote PhDs in general. They are hard, but you gain experience in so
\nmany different areas and you become confident in loads of situations. I think the main
\npurpose of your PhD is to teach you how to do research. For example, you learn to estimate how promising a given direction is; how to explain your research; and
\nhow to operate in an environment where your research is just one moving part out of
\nmany.<\/p>\n

Besides this, I think you learn so much about the world. You travel to communicate your
\nresearch (at the time of writing this, I\u2019ve had the privilege of giving talks in 4 countries
\nand will fly tomorrow to give a talk in a fifth country), you work with people from
\ndifferent backgrounds (professional and cultural) and you see how research fits into the
\nwider world (not just a corner of academia to which your PhD contributes).<\/p>\n
