Robert Cussons (SH 91-98) submitted the following update:

"After leaving St. Bees I studied for a Master of Physics degree at Leeds University. After graduating, a group of friends, my girlfriend and myself moved to Vancouver for a year, where I got a job working as a research associate at the TRIUMF lab. From there I met a professor with whom I'd worked for four months in Denmark whilst an undergraduate on a European exchange programme in Aarhus. This led to the offer of a PhD position in Darmstadt at the GSI laboratory. I finished my PhD in theoretical nuclear astrophysics at the end of 2008 and my girlfriend - who had since become my wife - and I moved to Glasgow. I have been working for the last three years in the renewable energy industry, which is a very rewarding career. I currently manage a team of analysts working in resource assessment, whose job it is to estimate the energy output for some of the largest wind farms in the world, before they are built. It's a very exciting industry to be involved in as it is completely new to everyone!"
