I worked on developing radiation mitigation strategies for space-based X-ray detectors.

I worked with Professor Rudolf Römer and Edoardo Carnio to create a program in Fortran to calculate wavefunctions and ‘Bohm trajectories’ for quantum mechanical systems undergoing ‘Anderson localisation’ and ‘Aubry-Andre localisation’, and to analyse these trajectories, with the intention of creating a new method for analysing these systems and to discover interesting features these systems might have. I also created an abstract and a poster to detail the research I performed during… Show more I worked with Professor Rudolf Römer and Edoardo Carnio to create a program in Fortran to calculate wavefunctions and ‘Bohm trajectories’ for quantum mechanical systems undergoing ‘Anderson localisation’ and ‘Aubry-Andre localisation’, and to analyse these trajectories, with the intention of creating a new method for analysing these systems and to discover interesting features these systems might have. I also created an abstract and a poster to detail the research I performed during this project, after the research had been completed. The files for these can be downloaded below. In addition I had to create a URSS profile, which is linked below. The profile includes a description of the goals I aimed to achieve in this project, and details of the skills this project gave me.

I worked in a team of ten students over the summer and autumn of 2014, designing a self-replicating gene silencing system to treat diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. I worked as a mathematical modeller for the team, and I designed the logo, poster, and worked as a web designer for the team. I used programs such as Mathematica and Matlab to create simulations for our system. In November 2014 we presented our project to a panel of judges and other IGEM teams, in Boston, USA.

We were awarded a gold award for our research. 245 teams travelled from across the world to participate in the competition, representing universities from every continent.Links to our poster, website, and the presentation we performed at Boston can be found below.
