In 2022, a friend approached me to help him and a group of collaborators design a water-monitoring station. They wanted to monitor water quality in alpine lakes in Greece. I agreed and designed a station that they later built. I also applied for and received a £1,000 grant from the Cambridge University Engineering Society to get us started. The rest of the team took the project much further, iterating on the design and deploying it. The station was designed to measure temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pressure, and to collect data under the ice when the lake froze during winter. It was great working with such a motivated group, and it was fantastic to see something I helped start make it out into the real world!
