I’m an applied Maths postgraduate student currently living in Lancaster, UK. In May 2024, I completed an Integrated Masters in Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. With a focus on Statistics and Operational Research, my studies were oriented towards Integer and Combinatorial Optimisation, Computational and Numerical Methods, Mathematical Modelling, Data Science and Machine Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My undergraduate dissertation was on Mathematical Optimisation of Scheduling Problems<\/strong> (in particular, the Nurse Rostering Problem). While studying the Nurse Rostering Problem, I found myself keen to undertake further research in Operational Research and\/or Statistics which may be useful in solving real-world problems. This motivated me to pursue a PhD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing a Master of Research in Statistics and Operational Research degree with the STOR-i CDT at Lancaster University, I am now a Year 1 PhD in Statistics and Operational Research at STOR-i. The research topic of my PhD is “Consumer Healthcare Supply Chain Visibility and Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimisation”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m not doing maths, I enjoy music, hikes, long walks, repurposing waste into crafts, and bouldering!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
