Hi, I’m Elin and I am a second year PhD student in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University, and I am a part of the Operational Research group. My research is funded by the Gwent Area Planning Board where the objective of the project is to understand how alcohol drinking behaviours affect healthcare, social care and criminal justice services in Gwent, and to explore demand and capacity planning. I enjoy spending my free time playing the harp or singing. I am also a foodie and enjoy trying new restaurants in Cardiff.
Hi, I’m Rhys, a second-year PhD student in mathematics, in the applied and computational math group. My research focuses on the numerical modeling of granular flows using continuum methods. I aim to develop more efficient and accurate techniques that can help mitigate the damage caused by natural disasters and enhance the efficiency of industrial processes. In my free time, I enjoy playing games—both board games and video games—as well as watching various sports, movies and tv shows.
Hi, my name Is Daniel and I am a 3rd Year Mathematics PhD student in the Operational Research group at Cardiff University. My research is in graph theory, specifically using heuristics and metaheuristics to try and find solutions in polynomial time for NP-Hard problems. Outside of PhD life, I love to watch football (this is basically a full-time job and involves watching the highlights of games that I have already seen, reading endless tweets, and setting up my FPL team). I also go to the gym, the cinema, and the beach, and I will very rarely refuse a cheeky trip to the pub after work.
Hi, I’m Alesia and I am a fourth-year Mathematics PhD student in the Statistics and Data Science Research group at Cardiff University. My research project is funded by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. I’m currently working at the interface of optimisation, machine learning and numerical linear algebra, specifically in finding the solutions to large-scale linear systems of equations using iterative methods, and their applications. In my spare time, I enjoy being in nature, especially around animals. I also like playing games, dancing and creating arts & crafts.
Hi, my name is Harry and I am a 1st year Mathematics PhD student in the Applied and Computational Research group at Cardiff University. My research focuses on the mathematical modeling of biological processes, specifically simulating cell motion through a process known as blebbing. I hope to find a relationship between cell motion and local topographic environments that can be used to improvement medical treatments or slow down the rate of disease spreading within the body. In my free time I enjoy climbing, hiking and playing video games.
