Much of my research topic was new to me before I started, so I had to balance my time between learning about the field and trying to make progress with research.- The nature of my work is such that I can define my own working hours, so I am good at managing my own schedule and can work independently with ease.

Project Title: Modelling Signal Processing for Stem Cell ControlOutline: Organ formation in plants is largely governed by a negative feedback loop between the protein Wuschel (WUS), and the ligand Clavata-3 (CLV3). CLV3 induces repression of WUS expression (production) via a signalling process, which in turn promotes expression of CLV3. The aim of my 8 week project was to try and identify the pathways that CLV3 takes in order to repress WUS, by means of creating a mathematical model… Show more Project Title: Modelling Signal Processing for Stem Cell ControlOutline: Organ formation in plants is largely governed by a negative feedback loop between the protein Wuschel (WUS), and the ligand Clavata-3 (CLV3). CLV3 induces repression of WUS expression (production) via a signalling process, which in turn promotes expression of CLV3. The aim of my 8 week project was to try and identify the pathways that CLV3 takes in order to repress WUS, by means of creating a mathematical model that reproduces experimental data. Technical Aspects: Before I started modelling, I had to read multiple research papers to get a decent idea of the problem and to get up to date with the research that had currently been undertaken. These often had a heavy amount of Biological content, which was mostly unfamiliar to me, coming from a maths background, so it was a good experience in learning a new field. I also had to extract relevant information to use in my models later, so it gave me experience in analysing articles and papers. To create the models, I initially used a piece of software called Organism, which was created by other members of the research group (The Jonsson Group) in C, and allows you to create, solve and optimise biological models. My supervisor (Niklas Korsbo) had created a Python wrapper to use as an interface for Organism, and this is what I used for the first few weeks. However, due to the scale of my model, it became more efficient to use Julia instead of Organism, as Julia has a very useful Differential Equations package, as well as some very useful parameter optimisation packages. Using Julia, the process became much faster, and I was able to generate results much more quickly. I used Jupyter notebooks for both Python and Julia.Summary of Skills: Julia, Python, Mathematical Modelling, Systems Biology, GitHub, Reading & analysing research papers. Show less

In addition to this, I was also involved in a project to promote women in cyber security and reduce unconscious bias. My role in this was to interview various people within cyber security (mainly women) to get their perspective on their role and how the job descriptions could be improved to be more gender neutral. This information was then used to create role profiles which were hopefully more gender neutral, as opposed to being more attractive to men. Show less
