Eryk Skalinski
Eryk completed his MEng in General Engineering with a specialization in Electronics from Durham University in June 2024, graduating with First Class degree (81%). His final project, supervised by Dr. Ismail Ben Mabrouk and Roy, focused on the design of sub-THz LTCC antenna for V2V communication. Eryk’s exceptional academic performance and research contributions were recognized with four prestigious awards: Outstanding Achievement in Level 4 (achieving 87% in final year); IMechE Best Project in the Electronics stream; IMechE Best Student in the Electronics stream; Rohde & Schwarz prize for the best project in Communication and Signal Processing Systems. Following his graduation, Eryk is set to begin his career as a System Software Engineer in Graphcore, Bristol this September 2024. Prior to completing his degree, Eryk gained valuable industry and research experience. He spent a year within the Neurotechnology group of TTP PLC, working on wireless power transfer and power systems for medical implants. In the summer of 2022, he completed a MITACS-funded research internship at the University of British Columbia, working in Dr. Simcha Srebnik’s lab within the bio-chemical department. There, he developed software tools for the analysis and preparation of molecular simulation models from/for LAMMPs, specifically Amyloid Beta 42 “docking” models. Additionally, in the summer of 2021, Eryk worked on CFD bulk flow simulations of the IMechE headquarters as part of a funded research internship under Dr. Grant Ingram, Dr. Sean Petley, and the IMechE Covid task force.
