As a Physics student and the current 1st year rep for physics department, I value the role that a strong academic environment plays in helping students navigate a demanding degree. I am running for Academic Officer because I want to help create more opportunities for students within the Physics Society to support each other academically and engage more deeply with the subject beyond our current lectures.

I believe that many people including myself would  benefit from spaces where they can discuss concepts, work through difficult problems, and learn collaboratively. If elected, I would aim to organise academic support initiatives such as informal problem solving  sessions and peer-led discussions where students from different years can share their experience and advice.

I would also like to help bridge the gap between what we are learning in lectures and the the academic world  by organising academic talks or discussions on interesting topics within modern physics and current research. Events like these can make the subject feel more connected to real scientific work and help students explore areas they may want to pursue further.

My goal as Academic Officer would be to help foster a supportive and intellectually curious academic community within the Physics Society, where students feel comfortable asking questions, collaborating, and developing a deeper understanding of physics together.
