Rhys first came to my attention on Twitter (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhDArcher\">@PhDArcher<\/a>) where I saw her talking about the outreach work she does in schools.<\/p>\n<p>I immediately wanted to get her do a guest blog post on the subject, which is something she will be doing when she can take a breath from her studies. Upon meeting her, though, it was clear that she was someone with a lot of passion for her subject, someone that would fit perfectly with the ethos of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/?s=mondaymaterials\">#MondayMaterials<\/a>\u00a0series.<\/p>\n<p>That proved to be a good prediction, as you&#8217;ll see from the answers below:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hi Rhys \u2013 thanks for chatting to us. Could you start by explaining your research, for the layman, in ten sentences or less?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, I work with carbon fibre.<\/p>\n<p>I make up different carbon fibre panels and I insert a non-woven veil, a sort of paper like structure, in the middle. And then I test how strong it is, effectively.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>In what ways could your research benefit the general public?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1080\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1080\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/rhyscomposites-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Rhys at work\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/rhyscomposites-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/rhyscomposites.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1080\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rhys at work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yeah, so there\u2019s a lot of work in composites, in what I deal with, trying to find out what makes them tougher, what makes them stronger, and how they work. So on the back of my research, industry or a company could take that and effectively make their carbon fibre in a stronger and tougher way.<\/p>\n<p>So when we\u2019re thinking about things like carbon fibre used more in aeroplanes, used a bit in spacecraft, or even in buildings and different applications, then it\u2019s only gonna have a positive benefit on the wider public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>And how did you first get interested in your research area?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JihfNX0H2vE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>I did Textiles Science (ed; an old course name, but similar subject can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.materials.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/undergraduate-courses\/textiles\/\">website<\/a>) here at Manchester and we did a lot on yarns and textiles, but we also did a lot on industrial textiles and technical textiles. That\u2019s where carbon fibre falls with its industrial uses.<\/p>\n<p>I was just really interested. I\u2019d always come from textiles with the point of view of using fabric, and then we started looking at these high performance materials that were out-performing most metals, and different materials that were traditionally used for things like vehicles and planes.<\/p>\n<p>I was just really interested about how those properties that I knew so well from fabric could also be translated into a really tough setting for industrial purposes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who or what first inspired your interest in science or materials?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eIxdl33Dvf8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Well, probably my dad.<\/p>\n<p>My dad didn\u2019t go to university or anything, he never studied science. But at school, I didn\u2019t get on with science very well \u2013 I thought it was all just learning Newton\u2019s laws or formulas. But my dad, whenever we\u2019d drive anywhere, he was just \u2013 I mean, he was massively into sci-fi, but he\u2019d also always check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/\">NASA<\/a> website and the <a href=\"http:\/\/home.web.cern.ch\/\">CERN<\/a> website and he\u2019d be like \u2018oh, did you hear this? Did you see that?\u2019. We\u2019d have like three hour discussions on science, even though, you know, he\u2019s not an academic or anything like that and I didn\u2019t know much.<\/p>\n<p>But it was those conversations that were like \u2013 \u2018that\u2019s really interesting, a lot more interesting than just being in school and just being taught formula after formula\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>And then I think I came to an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.materials.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-taught\/open-days\/\">Open Day<\/a> at Manchester and, you know, they very much sold the courses in that way. Exploring science \u2013 it\u2019s not about this array of formulas and just sticking the math in and putting an answer on a form. It\u2019s about talking about science and these new exciting things that are going on. And that\u2019s what grabbed my attention.<\/p>\n<p>So I think, yeah, my dad!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can you tell us a bit about your interests outside of work? What do you get up to in your spare time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I try and do quite a bit, which doesn\u2019t always work out that well when you\u2019re doing a PhD and it\u2019s so full on.<\/p>\n<p>I was learning German at the University. So, at school I stopped doing languages because I was told I wasn\u2019t very good at them and ever since I\u2019ve kind of been like \u2018I wanna know how to speak another language\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.careers.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/languagecourses\/\">LEAP courses<\/a> here are really good. I started my beginners\u2019 course, and then I did a summer course as well. That\u2019s been amazing because I think that for the last however many years I\u2019ve been using my brain in a certain way and then to suddenly revisit languages and process information in such a different way \u2013 I felt like I was using part of my brain I hadn\u2019t even used for years and years. So, I really enjoyed that.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1081\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1081\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1081 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/rhysrobot.jpg\" alt=\"Rhys with a robot and a friend while doing some outreach\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/rhysrobot.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/rhysrobot-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rhys with a robot and a friend while doing some outreach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also try and do some climbing, but mainly what I do is outreach work.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been involved in outreach since I was first an undergraduate here in 2009 and I\u2019ve continued it ever since. I find it really rewarding. And by now I\u2019ve got loads of contacts in schools, I know the students that I\u2019m working with.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, that\u2019s something that I dedicate quite a lot of time to at the University, and the University is really supportive of it. They\u2019ve always got different programs to get involved with and different ways of supporting people actually wanting to go out and say \u2018hi, I\u2019m from the University, I\u2019m doing a PhD,\u00a0 do you want to talk about science, do you want to talk about your options?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>And I think it\u2019s a really useful took for the local schools as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brilliant \u2013 sounds like a great opportunity. Just one more question, then.Can you tell us how working here in Manchester has benefited your research?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y77OplqU_pk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Yeah, so I guess for materials Manchester is a bit of a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>The centre\u2019s so big anyway, and I think one of the biggest things about being not just at the University but here in Manchester is the people you\u2019re working with and the kind of industry that you\u2019re around.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows the textile industry around here has been around for ages and there\u2019s still so many links within the North West. Like the old mills. There\u2019s a company called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tfpglobal.com\/\">TFP products <\/a>and they actually supply me my material. They\u2019re still based up in Cumbria at an old paper mill.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s connections like that which are still really important, now that textiles are starting to move into composites as well. It becomes so much more industrial and it\u2019s important to have those links.<\/p>\n<p>But then it\u2019s also nice to have the heritage, you know. You can just go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosi.org.uk\/\">Museum of Science and Industry<\/a> and you can see how important textiles were to the city of Manchester and building it up. And I think that globally, a lot of people have a lot of respect for people in Manchester who are working with textiles and technical textiles because of that heritage.<\/p>\n<p>It draws a lot of people here to the University and the best thing about being in Materials is the people you\u2019re working with. They\u2019re not just UK experts but global experts in their fields and they\u2019re teaching undergrad classes or they\u2019re supervising PhD students.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great that you\u2019ve got that opportunity and that resource. That these people who have all these contacts and all this knowledge are there teaching you.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess they\u2019re the best things about Manchester!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well, I \u00a0don&#8217;t know if I should say this or not but that might be my favourite episode yet.\u00a0Thanks, Rhys.\u00a0Great to see somebody working their way through the career at Manchester and ending up doing such fantastic research and outreach!
