Justin is a diligent student who aspires to become an engineer. His interest in engineering is rooted in his general fascination with science, combined with a passion for architecture and sculpture, shaping him as both a logical yet creative engineer.
Justin's journey into engineering and science began with his collection of aircraft models, which he fondly referred to as "mechanical birds" during his travels. As his knowledge of physics expanded, he realized these "mechanical birds" were not natural creatures but marvels of engineering genius. This curiosity fueled his broader interest in engineering, particularly in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Driven by his passion for aircraft, Justin undertook an Extended Project Qualification, culminating in a 5000-word dissertation totaling 30,000 words chronicling his project. His research tackled real-life aviation challenges, particularly issues related to pollution, proposing solutions grounded in physics principles. His investigation focused on the fundamental principles of flight, exploring the impact of shark skin modifications on aircraft surfaces to reduce drag and enhance efficiency.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Justin has excelled in physics and mathematics, earning gold certificates in the BMO Maths Challenge and the BPHO Physics Challenge, alongside achieving As in both GCSE and A-level examinations. Justin's creativity shines through his success in art, where he curated an art exhibition at his school featuring sculptures and architectural-inspired works, earning an AÂ in GCSE Art. His resilience is evident in his 13-year swimming career and ongoing 8-year tennis career, highlighted by a national swimming record and a second-place finish for his school in the UK Nationals relay.
Looking ahead, Justin aims to deepen his exploration of engineering at university, leveraging his creativity to innovate and address global challenges.
