MSCS Student Wins Enterprise Scholarship

Nicole Walters has been awarded an Enterprise Scholarship under the Tertiary Education Commission's Bright Future Scheme. The fully funded scholarship will enable Nicole to work on the upflow of steam and liquid and noncondensible gasses in geothermal wellbores, in her research towards a PhD in Mathematics, under the supervision of Mark McGuinness.

This success reflects a developing partnership with the Geothermal Division of Mighty River Power Limited in Hamilton, and the scholarship is half-funded directly by Mighty River Power. The research Nicole plans to do will help the effective management of geothermal power stations in New Zealand. Congratulations, Nicole!
