July — Sept. 2016
ATLAS Summer Student,
Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron.
I attended DESY’s summer student programme where I worked as a researcher in the ATLAS group. I investigated the Boosted Decision Tree based classification used to distinguish top-associated Higgs production events from background. It was found that the analysis could be significantly improved with the introduction of b-tagging variables.
Aug. — Sept. 2015
Software Development Intern,
Queen Mary University of London.
I wrote a piece of data visualisation software to be used in conjunction with mass spectrometry outputs. The project’s goal was to improve the tools available to proteomics researchers.

An 8-week video-editing contract undertaken as part of the SEPnet summer placement
