At Work

Yesterday was my first day at work. Kevin Shine, Jannik (another student) and me want to meet us at RSM Tenon at 9:30 so that we can drive together to work. But Kevin told me at RSM that the manager from NIBEC had postponed the meeting to 12:30. So I went home and came back later. At 11:30 I met Kevin and Jannik again and we went to the bus station. With the bus we have been travelling over the motorway to the University at Ulster at Jordanstown Campus within 11 minutes – by the way this is a distance of 10 kilometers.

At NIBEC we had a meeting with the director of the Engineering Research Institute Professor James McLaughlin BSc, DPhil., CPhys., FInstP., OBE (or short Jim). Unfortunately he was in a meeting so we waited about one hour. But then he told us about some projects with MiFi and medical monitoring sensors.

After this little introduction Kevin, Jannik and me drove with the taxi back to RSM Tenon. We are not sure what we can expect to this job, because Jim told us only some projects but not exactly our work. So I’m really excited what to expect.

First Day

Hi there,

this is my first blog entry. I’m landed at Dublin Airport in the evening of Sunday. The flight with the Irish low-cost airline was quiet good and we haven’t any delay. My friend Benjamin and me have the luck, that we can go into the airpline like the we have booked the priority boarding. In the airplaine were a lot of Irish people singing, maybe british, songs.

Dublin Airport in the evening

At Dublin Airport we waited for the bus which drove us to the Europa Center in Belfast. The contact person here in Belfast ordered a few taxis which drove us to our apartment. On the whole this accommodation is very good and a the furniture is at a high level. I will talk about that later at a future time.

Yesterday we had a meeting with Kevin Shine (responsible for the jobs in Belfast) who give us a lot of information about Belfast. I also get the information that I have a meeting with Kevin and Jannik at Wednesday. We will drive together to NIBEC at the University of Ulster in Jordanstown.

So, I have quiet a lot to write about my experiences here in North Ireland. Stay tuned!
