During my time there I studied a range of topics in pure mathematics in addition to a few modules in more applied areas such as stochastic processes and graph theory. While completing my Master\u2019s dissertation on p-adic analysis I began to investigate opportunities in post graduate research. I subsequently enrolled on the STOR-i program and have completed the first year graduating with a Maters of Research in Operational Research and Statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exeter.ac.uk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/edward-mellor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/SmallExeterShield-1-807x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\" width=\"53\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/edward-mellor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/SmallExeterShield-1-807x1024.png 807w, https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/edward-mellor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/SmallExeterShield-1-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/edward-mellor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/SmallExeterShield-1-768x974.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/edward-mellor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/SmallExeterShield-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 53px) 100vw, 53px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer of 2018 I completed a 9 week research placement at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceh.ac.uk\/\">Centre for Ecology and Hydrology<\/a> in association with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\">University of Reading<\/a> where I was part of a team investigating the effects of snowmelt on flood forecasting models.
