Nicolas
Glasgow Caledonian University
Electrical Power Engineering BEng/BEng (Hons)
I’m a French electrician and engineer passionate about innovation in energy systems. My career began in Luxembourg and Belgium, where I worked as an electrician, before relocating to Scotland in 2009. I continued my trade in Scotland before pursuing further education, achieving an HNC and HND in Electrical Engineering at Glasgow Clyde College.
Beyond work, I’m an avid F1 and rugby union fan and love travelling Scotland on my motorbike. I also have a deep appreciation for exploring new cultures around the world.
Currently, I’m focused on the transformative challenges of electrical energy production and consumption. I’m particularly driven by the goal of decarbonising the grid by 2050, aiming to play a role in shaping a more sustainable energy future.

Shiam
Brunel University of London
Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Hello,
I’m Shiam Rahman, and I’m currently studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Brunel University.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by electronic devices and how they work. Electrical engineering is like the "black magic" of engineering—it’s all happening behind the scenes, and yet, every little interaction, like the click of a button, is the result of someone’s design and innovation. I’m excited to dive deeper into how these systems work and, one day, be part of the tech industry that shapes our future.
Beyond engineering, I have a strong passion for art and design. I love drawing and painting people, and I also have skills in graphic design, image manipulation, and animation. My creative side really complements my technical interests, and I enjoy finding ways to blend the two.
At Brunel, I also work as a Student Recruitment and Widening Access Ambassador. It’s such a rewarding experience, and I love being part of a community that is all about supporting each other. Brunel is a fantastic place to study, make new friends, and take advantage of amazing facilities and support. I’d love to see you here!

Software Engineering for Business
I was born and raised in Nigeria and joined UWE early 2023. I will admit I waited till the last minute to decide to pursue software engineering as a degree, but I do believe I made the right decision. My passion for coding and software development is growing by the day and I cannot wait to apply my abilities in the real world. That’s not to say I don’t suffer from imposter syndrome occasionally, but I do think being in the right environment has really helped change my mindset and attitude.
