April 2013 | Alumni Profiles

We have gone NASA mad this month with an astronaut who has worked on the International Space Station and a project engineer who has lived underwater. We also feature a duo of award winners and a corporate lawyer who made the most of her time in Scotland.

We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters.

Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website.

Andrew Abercromby, deputy project manager and project engineer at NASA, chats about pulling pints in the Festival Theatre, learning to fly and living underwater.
