  • Presented my research poster at the Laidlaw Scholars Conference 2025, awarded highly commended by a Commissioning Editor at Taylor and Francis Group.

Awards

• EPSRC vacation scholarship: Awarded to complete an 8-week summer research internship in Mathematics.
• Tullis Medal and Prize: Awarded to the best student(s) in Second Level Pure Mathematics.
• Deans’ List: For academic excellence in the year 2024-2025.
• Laidlaw Leadership and Research scholarship: Awarded to complete a 6-week summer research project in Mathematics and a 6-week summer outreach project in Boston, Massachusetts.

Software

• Digraphs package for GAP for computing with directed graphs. Contributed to the following functions:
  • IsCograph: decides if a given symmetric digraph is a cograph.
  • DigraphMinimumCut and DigraphMinimumCutSet: finds the minimum cut and corresponding minimum cut set of a flow network.
  • Is2EdgeTransitive: decides if a given digraph is 2-edge transitive.

Talks

• Combinatorial Nullstellensatz: Gave a talk at an undergraduate Mathematics retreat on Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, including a proof of the Cauchy-Davenport theorem and a solution to an International Mathematical Olympiad problem (click for slides).

Teaching

• This summer, I will be acting as an instructor with the Timothy Smith Network for their Boston Design Academy programme. I will be teaching HTML, CSS and web design principles to high school-aged students in the Boston area.
