Successful weather forecasting at the Met Office relies on obtaining an accurate solution to a very large system of equations in a timely manner. It is therefore crucial that the solver algorithm is fast and efficient, as this can account for up to a third of model runtime. As the Met Office develops their next generation weather forecasting model.

Produce and present a weekly tutorial to 15 first year maths students based on lecture material and feedback on marked work. Mark problem sheets, mid-term assessments and first year exams. It is key to provide intuitive explanations to difficult concepts and work closely with students to improve understanding.

Tutoring of a student in numerical analysis (MATLAB) and mathematical methods modules.

Coimbra, Portugal

Funded by NERC GW4+ DTP Placement scheme, my work here centred around modelling the reaction-diffusion system governing hydrogen peroxide signalling.Produced git-versioned Python code to solve this system which will be used at UC Biotech for future parameter analysis.

Paris, Île-de-France, France

Funded by a Royal Society Grant, my work here was primarily experimental. In particular, we performed experiments to induce a Faraday instability in a bath of water using an electric field. The subsequent post-processing of captured images was performed using the Schlieren imaging method in MATLAB.
