  Ooo that’s a big question! I’d love to finish my PhD actually having discovered something new about nuclear waste. In sorter term aims I’d like to know how to discover that something new, it would make my research a lot simpler!

  I’d like to achieve a patentable invention and something novel in the world of nanoelectronics, somethign i could potentially own, market and sell.

  Hi 635dysb48,
  
  Right now, I am aiming to answer my specific research question on Antarctic sea ice, and how it is responding to global warming.
  
  Longer term, I hope to secure a long term research position and develop my career fully in science. At the end of my current job, I’ll reach something of a make or break point in my career, which is quite scary, but also good motivation to keep working hard.

  I’m hoping to carry on working as a scientist after I finish my PhD (step one = finish my PhD!) and I hope to help develop a new, better treatment for a brain disease like Alzheimer’s disease to help improve the lives of people suffering from it.

  In the near future (read: in the coming year), I aim to publish two of my projects in journals that are highly valued in the research community. In the long term, I hope to secure funding for my research proposal to make sure I can keep doing science that I find interesting.
