Kevin Heritier Kevin Heritier is a PhD scholar in the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group.
A President’s Scholarship gave Kevin Heritier the chance to come to the UK and seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “I chose to study at Imperial’s Space and Atmospheric Physics Group, as it is worldrenowned in the field of space physics. I recently had the opportunity to work on the Rosetta mission, the first ever to orbit a comet’s nucleus and land a probe on its surface. “This would not have been possible without my scholarship. The agency that allocates funding to our Group requires all members to have either UK citizenship or have completed undergraduate and master’s studies at a UK institution. “As a French citizen this scholarship was the only way I could fund my work and undertake my PhD at Imperial. I am so grateful for this opportunity, which represents a true milestone in my career.”
