Shruti | Prosthetics engineer
How I got into this job I did A levels at military sixth form college in preparation to become an Aerospace Engineer in the Royal Air Force, but unfortunately developed knee problems and had to leave the military.
I then chose to specialise in Biomedical Engineering, developed an interest for prosthetics and applied for my PhD: Working with the military to make better fitting limbs for ex-soldiers who are amputees.

My next step I’m approaching a fork in the road. Either I go on to continue in research, or do something else. Both paths will definitely involve using all the skills I’ve learned along the way

My work When I’m not teaching, I might be chasing a baby around its mum’s abdomen to try and get a good picture or scanning adults with pain, to see if I can find the cause.
