Projects

Lassa fever in Nigeria – MSc

• An article style paper aiming to quantify the seasonality and shape of the external force of infection from Nigeria with data from the NCDC for Lassa fever. Supervised by Prof. Michael Tildesley

MSc Research Group Project (2020) - Stochastic parareal: an application of probabilistic methods to time-parallelisation

• A 10 week project where Kamran Pentland, Haoran Ni, Yije Zhou, Jacques Bara and I investigated incorporating stochastic methods into the parareal algorithm in order to extract further parallel speed-up when integrating systems of ODEs. Supervised by Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino, Dr. Debasmita Samaddar and Dr. Lynton Appel.

Mathematical Modelling of Viral Haemorrhagic Diseases (Lassa Fever and Ebola) – MMath

• An introductory essay aiming at being accessible to 4^th year mathematicians detailing mathematical epidemic models, well-known quantities and qualities of the models and fitting to data with application to data to the Ebola epidemic in 2014 and Lassa fever in Nigeria. Supervised by Prof. Michael Tildesley and Dr. Warren Tennant.
