MRes

During the MRes year of my Integrated PhD, I have taken the following units:

Year-long:
MA50246: Student-Led Symposia and Integrative Think Tanks
MA50264: Inter-disciplinary Research Project

Semester 1:
MA50178: Numerical Linear Algebra
MA50247: Bayesian and Large Scale Methods
MA50183: Specialist Reading Course (with Dr. Kit Yates)

Semester 2:
MA50251: Applied Stochastic Differential Equations
MA50263: Mathematics of Machine Learning
MA50215: Specialist Reading Course (with Dr. Matt Nunes)

As regards the Inter-disciplinary Research Project, I have explored the role of air pollution as a driver of influenza and other respiratory infections. Being a group project, we have tackled this study with different approaches. Mine involved spatial statistics with data recorded at different scales, namely pollution point stations and regional influenza counts. The project was supervised by Dr. Ben Adams, Prof. Julian Faraway and Dr. Theresa Smith.

I also have co-organised the SLS sessions during the second semester. Here is the timetable of the activities our cohort has attended.
