Dimitrios Alexadridis (da460)

IA Rep &Teaching Committee Rep, Freshers Coordinator

My name is Dimitri. I am a first-year student from Girton. I chose to participate in the SSJC because I am keen to share ideas that will enhance the student experience in the Engineering Department. This year, Tek and I are the Part IA reps, which means that we are especially happy to discuss and resolve issues faced by first-year students. I am also a member of the teaching committee and I can transfer any suggestions on the improvement of teaching directly to the Student-Staff Joint Committee. Feel free to talk with me at any time to discuss departmental issues or suggestions! Any feedback will help us better represent the student body in our attempt to make everyday life in the department even more enjoyable and productive.

Michaela Chan (mkyc2)

IIA Rep & College Rep Coordinator

I’m Micheala, a third-year engineer at Trinity Hall. This is my third year on the SSJC and I’m currently sitting on the Environment Committee, as well as being College and IIA Representative and College Rep Coordinator, along with Fleur. This means I will be working closely with people representing you from your college, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come directly to me with any issues or feedback that you have! I’m here especially to represent the interests of third-years so please do get in touch. If you’re not quite sure about what’s going on in the department, or you think something could be improved, let me know!

Tek Kan Chung (tkc26)

IA Rep & Fresher Coordinator

Fleur Conway (gc538)

IB Rep & Faculty Board Rep & Library Committee Rep & College Rep Coordinator

My name is Fleur and I am a second year undergraduate from Pembroke College. My role in the SSJC includes sitting in on the faculty board, SSJC and library committee meetings. I also act as the 1B representative with Agnes Fung, and college rep coordinator with Michaela Chan. That means as well as listening to any issues from people within my year, I will talk to representatives from each college from every year. So do approach me if you see me around. I also work within the Cambridge University Engineering Society as Marketing and Communications Director and the alumni-student connection society, 1347, in my college. I just finished my role as college rep for the Varsity ski trip this year too! In the coming year I'd love to see the welfare and community within the department improve.  Do let me know if there are any issues you'd like me to bring up concerning the course and engineering life in general!

Martina Cheadle (mec65)

SSJC President  & IIB Rep

I’m Martina, a fourth-year engineer at Sidney Sussex who spent last year as a student rep on the Faculty Board, Teaching Committee, and Staff-Student Joint Committee (SSJC). This year I have been elected President of the SSJC which means I am the official first point of contact for CUED regarding student wellbeing/opinion. As President I will continue to directly communicate with the people who run the engineering course on your behalf. If you’re not quite sure about what’s happening in the department, or if you think something could be improved please let me know – I am here to help!

Some things I’m currently working on:

•             Better cohesion between lectures and labs, especially in Part I

•             Improving the transition to Part II using students’ feedback on module choices

•             Increased availability of course material in the form of lecture notes, recorded lectures, past Tripos papers and worked solutions

•             Better feedback on lectures, lab reports, and supervisions

Any questions, concerns, or comments on anything CUED related, please feel free to ask!

Agnes Fung (alsf3)

IB Rep & Faculty Board Rep &Communications Manager

Hi there! I’m Agnes, a second year undergraduate at Jesus. My main aims within the SSJC are to increase diversity and access within the engineering department. Your feedback is invaluable and helps shape the way things are run for you and future cohorts of students. Fleur and I are here to represent the IB students; second years please don’t hesitate to approach us after lectures if you have any comments! As a Faculty Board student representative, I can also help you communicate directly with the big potatoes.

Manesh Patel (mp735)

SSJC Vice President & IIB Rep

Fergus Riche (fr293)

SSJC Grad Rep and Faculty Board Rep (Research Graduate Students)

Fergus has been at the Department since 2011, and has acted as both its fiercest critic and most staunch defender. He will fight your corner (which he will do with a smile, and without fear or favour), and help the Department become a lean, mean engineering machine.

Fergus is particularly interested in improving the experience of graduate students involved in the department’s teaching, so if you have any suggestions on that, or any other aspect of the graduate experience, don’t hesitate to tell him!

Jon Arne Toft (jaet2)

IIB Rep & Teaching Committee Rep

I’m a fourth year mechanical engineer at Homerton. I’m a co-founder and former president of ITIC (iticam.org), a society designing products to tackle global challenges. My main interests are to improve department support for extracurricular activities, and to improve the learning experience as a whole. I’m not a big fan of the current lecture note system. On the other hand, I’m a big fan of free coffee!
