Student Research

Our students are undertaking a wide range of research.  Here are some ‘five minute’ research presentations that will give you a flavour of the projects that some of them have been working on.   

Statistical Models for Hotspot Detection by Andrea Brizzi, Imperial.

5 Minute Research: ‘Your Brain Is More Connected Than You Think’ by Anna Menacher, Oxford.

5 Minute Research: ‘Are You Driving the COVID-19 Epidemic?’  by Melodie Monod, Imperial. 

5 Minute Research: ‘Improving Google’s Cookies’ by Jose Pablo Falck, Imperial.

Publications 

Students across the cohort have been producing some great research, many of them turning their focus to COVID related projects.  Here are a few links to publications from some of our students.
