Language is my greatest obsession.
I bring a unique perspective to communication, shaped by years in campaign management, organizational leadership, and brand development--and I believe storytelling sits at the vanguard of translational research.
I'm drawn to what sits beneath the surface--crafting the solution from its past and sharing its story. The throughline connecting sustainability, toxicology, and policy fascinates me.
If you're interested in this transdisciplinary white space, storytelling, food, or a good laugh -- you're speaking my language! I'd love to learn yours. 📧: nethra.srimal.25@ucl.ac.uk
👋 Hi, I’m Aimee! I study Architectural&Interdisciplinary Studies BSc at UCL and am passionate about exploring how art and design can connect creativity with research and community.
As a Laidlaw Scholar, my first year project focused on building the first digital exhibition for the Paris Summer School, combining my interests in design and storytelling with leadership in collaborative projects.
Hello! :) I'm Ravleen, a 2nd year Pharmacy student at UCL.
In the last year, I was introduced to pharmaceutics: a scientific basis for the formulation and manufacture of safe and effective medicines.
Even the most effective medicine doesn't work if the patient refuses to take it. A study found that 79% of children stated that the taste of medicine made them unwilling to take it. Moreover, children are commonly unable to swallow neutral tasting pills, which makes dosing them a challenge.
For my research project, I explored the development of child-friendly, palatable formulations called orodispersible films using a method called electrospinning. This involved hands-on laboratory work to develop prototype formulations at the UCL School of Pharmacy and interviews with paediatric, oncology patients at Great Ormand Street Hospital to improve the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea & vomiting.
Feel free to reach out!

Hello! I'm Fola, an Urban Planning, Design and Management graduate from The Bartlett, UCL. I'm interested in sustainable development, urban politics, and participatory planning. My Laidlaw research projects have focused on housing design governance and grassroots campaigns for the right to housing.
Hello! I am a penultimate year French and Politics student at the University of Leeds with the drive and tenacity to effect positive change on a global scale. My research focuses on identifying West African resistance fighters in the Second World War. I have also developed a keen interest in the Francophone world, French philosophy and Post-colonial Feminist security studies.
I'm currently a doctoral researcher at Cambridge, exploring how commoning practices can inform post-capitalist urban policy – drawing on years of environmental and human rights activism, an interdisciplinary academic path, and my former work as an art & sustainability researcher at Studio Olafur Eliasson. Along the way, I picked up an MSc in Sustainable Development at St Andrews, studied Chinese & French at Durham, and trained in Photography at Kisképző, the Hungarian University of Fine Arts.
Anthropology and Sociology Undergraduate; from Bristol, UK.
I am completing a research project on narrative transmission and reproduction, looking at how oral accounts of geological events are passed down accurately over generations. By understanding how narratives are constructed I am keen to explore interdisciplinary approaches, particularly between Anthropology, Linguistics, Computer-Human Interaction, and Cognition.
Other interests include literature, art and photography, architecture, astronomy, and outdoor pursuits.
