At Occuity, we are proud to call Reading our base, and as such are keen to foster strong relationships with local and regional universities in addition to other local centres of learning excellence.
HR & Recruitment Manager, Beverly Thomson comments:
"These internships provide a true win-win opportunity and we’re delighted to welcome 3 new student interns to the Occuity family. We’re excited to give them the opportunity to get hands on experience, learn new skills and see them flourish as they take real ownership of tasks and projects during their time with us."
Over the past few weeks, we first welcomed Tariq Hilmi, who joins us from the University of Surrey, where he is studying for his PhD in Astrophysics. Tariq is working with us to help develop and extend a holistic Monte Carlo optical model for the measurement of Central Corneal Thickness of the human eye. His work will allow Occuity to provide data to show system capabilities and boundaries and therefore reduce the amount of verification testing required. Tariq is already delivering impressive results and is augmenting an API to become a tool for performing simulations on multiple models.
