Kariza Martin: Engineering PhD

TRANSCRIPT

Kariza Martin: Engineering PhD I RMIT University

VISUAL: RMIT Logo. Kariza is setting up for a series of compression tests to be performed on carbon fibre components.

AUDIO: Piano tinkles and the sound of a plane taking off.

KARIZA SPEAKS: Aircraft are exposed to inevitable forces of nature. 

VISUAL: Carbon fibre components undertaking compression tests.

KARIZA SPEAKS: I created a patented way to strengthen the composite. 

VISUAL: Kariza picks up the carbon fibre coupon and inspects the damage done by the drop tower test.  

KARIZA SPEAKS: My research is sponsored by Boeing. 

VISUAL: Kariza walks passed the Boeing facility in Fisherman’s Bend. 

KARIZA SPEAKS: Their aim is to reduce carbon fibre delamination. 

VISUAL: Kariza hands in the carbon coupon to a technician, who performs a compression test on the strength of the composite. 

AUDIO: Upbeat music.

KARIZA SPEAKS: My name is Kariza Martin and I’m doing a PhD in Aerospace Engineering at RMIT.

VISUAL: In the Boeing facility, Kariza speaks with a colleague. Back at RMIT, she places her final carbon fibre coupon into an X-Ray machine to inspect the impact of her research on the strength of the composite.

TEXT ON SCREEN: Kariza Martin. PhD Student (Aerospace Engineering) at RMIT University.

VISUAL: Kariza walks through the Boeing assembly line
