First class Mathematics degree at University of Southampton.

Distinction level Masters for Operational Research at University of Southampton.

My Supervisors are Tiina Roose and Joerg Fliege and i am studying plant root optimisation.

My Summer Project will be to optimise ferterliser placement and root struture using models from Roose and Zygalakis for plant root growth in many dimensions. This will be done by using different optimising techniques, such as a GA, to solve this multi-objective, multi-variable problem.
