Nicholas Brusby – Rolls-Royce Plc

  • I am a highly motivated Mathematics graduate having studied at the University of Manchester for both my Mathematics BSc 2012-2015, graduating with a first class honours, and my MSc in Applied Mathematics with Industrial Modelling 2015-2016, graduating with distinction.

    My main mathematical interests are Structural Analysis, Thermo Dynamics, and Numerical Analysis Methods. I have worked with both Rolls-Royce Plc and Thales Underwater Systems on projects in these areas. I am also a capable statistician and as part of my current employment I am acknowledged as a subject matter expert in this area.

    Since January 2017 I have been employed by Rolls-Royce Plc as an Aerospace Engineer. Previous roles include working as an integrator on the Trent XWB project and as a rotor dynamics analyst in the UltraFan whole engine modelling department. This role has allowed me to continue to develop my understanding of structural analysis and modelling techniques as well as improving my ability to plan, carryout an investigation, and draw conclusions to make design recommendations.

    External to work I am a committee member for the East Midlands Branch of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, IMA. As part of this role I help arrange public lectures on mathematical topics, as well as make decisions on what other events the branch should organise and how it can encourage more young people to pursue maths as a career. My passion for encouraging young people to pursue mathematics as a career has led to me representing Rolls-Royce at the OCR Mathematics Consultative Forum. This meets twice a year to review the GCSE, A-level, and post 16 qualifications in mathematics curriculum and give feedback on any proposed changes and how these may improve or hinder students once they leave education and go to University or into the working world.

    I am an associate member of the IMA and an associate of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
