Maths Spotlight: Alex Tunnicliffe

Alex Tunnicliffe

BSc MMathStat 2011

PhD student in Cambridge

I am about to begin a fully funded PhD studentship for Cancer Research UK at their institute in Cambridge, where I will also be a member of the university. My work will involve a large statistical and computational element as well as working at the expanding interface between statistical sciences, molecular biology and cancer research, often in collaboration with the experimental groups at the institute. I could not have arrived at this position without the excellent teaching and support I received while at Warwick which allowed me to realise my potential and study the areas I was interested in.

A degree in Statistics has given me exciting opportunities to look at in many fields and so I would strongly recommend that those who enjoy it pursue it further.
