Hey everyone my name is Eva and I'm part of the 2023 Laidlaw scholar cohort. I'm currently studying pharmacy at Trinity college Dublin. I'm really interested in looking at how the development of novel therapeutics can be used to solve current challenges in the medical field. My Summer 1 research project focuses on the antimicrobial action of capsaicin on H. pylori cells and how this could be incorporated into current antibiotic regimes.
I am a second year undergraduate studying Human Social and Political Sciences at the University of Cambridge.
In complex systems, one learns early that the surface can be a weak tutor, and it is often the tide, not the wave, that shapes the course. With my readings in finance at Durham University, combined with leadership training with the Oxford Character Project, I have tried to make my research and work resemble thoughtful oceanography—careful observation, calibrated instruments, and charts that are trusted precisely because they are modest about what they cannot yet claim to know. As a Laidlaw Scholar, my approach across research domains remains grounded in certain core values: to respect complexity without being intimidated by it, to value precision over appearance, and to navigate with integrity.
