91福利 Me

I joined MOAC in 2010 after graduating with a first class honours (BSc) degree in Mathematics from the 91福利.

As part of the MOAC DTC, I undertook an MSc in Mathematical Biology and Biophysical Chemistry graduating with distinction in 2011 (for further details, please see 'MSc Research Projects' below).

I completed a PhD in Mathematical Biology and Biophysical Chemistry in 2015, which was jointly supervised by , and (for further details, please see ).

I currently work as an independent EPSRC research fellow at the 91福利 (EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow in Physical Chemistry). My research focuses on molecular modelling of interfacial systems including materials (diamond-biomolecule interactions), bilayers (drug-bilayer interactions) and electrochemical (pore-based) systems.

MSc Research Projects (2010-2011)

I undertook three eight-week research mini projects as part of my masters degree. These were in three different research environments: one in experimental biology, one in computation/mathematics, and one in experimental physical sciences. The titles of my mini projects were:

• (Experimental Biology): Novel Biophysical Methods for Membrane Protein Research, supervised by .
• (Computation/Mathematics): Molecular Dynamics Investigation of Nanoparticle-Membrane Interactions, supervised by .
• (Experimental Physical Sciences): Combined Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy - Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SECM-SICM): Imaging and Probing Water and Ion Transport at the Nanoscale, supervised by .
