PhD Statistics

Imperial College London Oct 2020 – Jan 2025
I am undertaking a PhD under the supervision of Professor Emma McCoy and Dr. Ed Cohen. My research topic is wavelet methods applied to point processes. I have undertaken research into the underlying structure of Hawkes processes, a special case of self-exciting point processes, and their behaviour in the context of local stationarity. My research has extended [developed] my Master’s work to discuss other identifiability constraints of Hawkes processes as well as extending to [encompassing] more complex cases of the Hawkes process such as time-varying kernels and time-varying non-linear background intensity functions. This work utilises locally stationary wavelets and the methods have been applied to natural phenomena data sets.

Teaching Assistant

CIEE - Washington St. Louis

May 2024 – Jun 2024 London

During the summer, I had the opportunity to teach a group of 24 students at the CIEE in London as part of their study abroad program. Working closely with an academic from Imperial College London, I co-taught a course on Differential Equations — a first-year undergraduate module designed for visiting engineers and computer scientists.

In this role, I was responsible for creating and delivering course content, including exam materials, coursework questions, and lecture notes. In addition, I was responsible for marking exams and coursework to ensure students received comprehensive feedback on their progress. Furthermore, I led several lectures, helping students navigate the complexities of differential equations in a rigorous yet supportive learning environment.

Water Wheel used the ideas of a bike that produced electricity while cycling but coupled this with a simple but highly effective filtration device. When cycling, the bike not only stored the energy produced from pedalling but also was able to produce electricity while filtering water. The Enactus Lancaster Ghana team sourced renewable materials, such as bamboo, to build the bike while working alongside Enactus Lancaster’s engineers and physicists to integrate the technology within the bike.
