Dr Harry Warring: from the Physics Lab to the Rocket Lab

Physics took Dr Harry Warring from the lab to Rocket Lab. He completed his PhD in Physics with a specialisation in materials science and magnetic semiconductor engineering under MacDiarmid Institute Principal Investigator Dr Ben Ruck.

Harry is now Senior Vehicle Test Engineer at Rocket Lab, the first company to successfully launch an orbital-class rocket from a private launch site.

Harry submitted his thesis on a Thursday, interviewed for Rocket Lab on the Friday and started work a week later. He says the skills he picked up during his MacDiarmid Institute PhD were easily transferred to the hi-tech sector.
