Overview
I am a PhD research student at Cardiff, studying data analysis and computational modelling of embryo growth rate and other metrics of success in In-Vitro Fertilization. My project is funded by the KESS2 initiative (see research) and is supervised by:
My project is an academia-industry collaboration with the London Womens Clinic(LWC), who cofund the project. At the LWC I am supervised by Andrew Thomson, Fertility Laboratory Manager LWC Wales and Bristol, and Giles Palmer, senior embryologist at the LWC Wales.
In addition to my research, I teach Linear Algebra I and Computing for Mathematics labs.
I also am a subject tutor for the 'Maths and Numeracy' stream of the Cardiff University Step Up Programme, which provides year 12/13 students from backgrounds which are under-represented at university with higher level teaching and application support.
