Meet the Ambassadors

BEng Aerospace Engineering, Year 3

My name is Daniel and I’m a third year Aerospace Engineer. With AI developing so quickly, it is so important to ensure academic integrity is maintained. To be able to meet new people and help my fellow students is what inspired me to this role. Outside of my studies, I am an avid football fan, following my beloved Nottingham Forest around the country.

BSc Accounting and Finance, Year 2

Hi! I’m Nandini, a second-year Accounting and Finance student who’s passionate about helping others understand the importance of honesty and fairness in their studies. I became an Academic Integrity Ambassador because I believe integrity builds the foundation for genuine learning and personal growth. Outside of academics, I love dancing, planning fun cultural events, and connecting with people from different backgrounds!

BSc Business Management, Year 3

Hey, I am Ahmad Danish! I became an Academic Integrity Ambassador because I believe honesty and originality are the foundation of genuine learning and personal growth. For me, academic integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, valuing effort, curiosity, and fairness in everything we do. Outside of my studies, I enjoy exploring new cultures, playing badminton, cricket and working on creative digital projects.

PhD Candidate in Business Management

I am proud to serve as an Academic Integrity Ambassador at Swansea University, where I am committed to promoting ethical academic practices and guiding students toward excellence. My motivation stems from a desire to help students understand the value of integrity and the importance of avoiding academic misconduct. I believe this role will not only enrich my own educational journey but also contribute meaningfully to fostering a culture of honesty and responsibility within the University community.

Outside of my academic work, I enjoy reading and watching movies.

MSc Management (Sustainable Business) student

I am currently studying MSc Management (Sustainable Business) at the School of Management at Swansea University. I became an Academic Integrity Ambassador because it has allowed me to work closely with my lecturers; my fellow students have also sought out my advice. Before starting my course, I had been away from academia for nine years and I needed to learn the rules surrounding academic integrity from scratch. I hope to help people who have been in a similar position as I was, alongside students who have no pre-existing knowledge of academic integrity.

Outside of my studies, I love watching classic films, my favourite being Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I enjoy playing video games too and this helps me to de-stress from my studies.

MSc Aerospace Engineering student 

Hi, my name is Mandar. I am presently pursuing my MSc in Aerospace Engineering at the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Swansea University.

I became an Academic Integrity Ambassador for my love of social interactions. This role allows me to inform my fellow peers about the importance of Academic Integrity in their university studies. Being part of the team has also allowed me to learn about the multitude of resources that the university provides the students to ensuring academic success, which has been extremely helpful in my studies.

Outside of my studies, I am an individual with varied interests; an amateur photographer on vacations, a chef on Sundays, a writer when feeling inspired, and a philosopher on quaint evenings.

BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, Year 2

Hi, I'm Astha! I became an Academic Integrity Ambassador (AIA) to help students understand the value of honesty, fairness, and responsibility in their academic journey. As an AIA, I actively participate in creating awareness about integrity through campaigns, pop-up booths, online sessions, and events such as Fresher’s Week and International Day of Academic Integrity. My role also involves collaborating with fellow ambassadors, developing engaging materials, and communicating with students to make the concept of integrity more relatable and approachable.

Outside of my role, I’m a trained dancer with over a decade of experience, a chef who loves creating dishes that make people smile, a travel enthusiast, and a photographer with a love for aesthetics. I enjoy exploring new cultures, spending time with friends, travelling, playing sports, and embracing every opportunity to learn and grow.

MSc Management (Artificial Intelligence) student

Hey, I am Pravek Sharma, pursuing my MSc Management (Artificial Intelligence) under School of Management at Swansea University Bay Campus. I have a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a prior masters in AI.  

I became an Academic Integrity Ambassador because I believe honesty, fairness, and respect are the foundation of meaningful learning and personal growth. To me, academic integrity means staying true to your values, giving credit where it’s due, and continuously striving to learn the right way — not just the easy way. 

Outside of my studies, I’m an avid hiker who recently trekked up Snowdon, and I love playing sports like field hockey, badminton, and swimming. I’m also a big fan of online games and enjoy relaxing with my PlayStation in my free time. I like to read mystery and adventure books, Hardy Boys being one of my favourite book series.

MSc Business Administration

Hi, my name is Purushottam Kumar, pursuing a Master of Business Administration at the School of Management, Swansea University.

I am honoured to join Swansea University’s Academic Integrity Ambassador program. This role offers a valuable opportunity to promote a fair, honest, and transparent academic environment at the university. In an era where new technologies, including AI, can enable academic misconduct and spread false information, maintaining the principles of research and academic integrity has become essential for students’ success.

As an international student and former consultant, I’ve dedicated time to understanding the nuances of academic integrity to help students develop the right skills supported by ethical decision-making. Learning to write effectively makes academic integrity second nature, without extra effort to avoid plagiarism. Through promoting integrity, I aim to foster an environment where learning thrives and everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
