Scholar from the 2018 St Andrews Laidlaw Cohort. My project was under the supervision of Prof. Sabine Hyland in the Department of Social Anthropology, and is entitled "Revolutionary Women in the indigenous revolt of 1783, Peru". I am currently looking into the publication of my research findings, and presented them as a panellist at a conference in York in February 2020. Currently doing an MA in Museum Studies at UCL.

Bethany is a practising screenwriter and film producer who was a Laidlaw Scholar in the University of York's first cohort in 2017-18. She set up a production company with her partner Patrick the Isle of Man, where they now produce films and write screenplays. Their first short documentary, MERA, premiered at Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Brittany in August 2019 and their short drama, The Lost Wife, is in postproduction. Their scripts have placed in multiple international screenwriting competitions. Bethany is passionate about helping others to develop, especially those considering writing or the film industry as a career path.

Andy received a BSc (Hons) 1st class at The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in 1997 and then undertook his PhD in synthetic chemistry with Professor David A. Leigh FRS on ‘The Controlled Synthesis of Interlocked Architectures’, firstly at UMIST then at The University of Warwick, where he graduated in 2001. He started post-doctoral research at Yale University (USA) with Professor Andrew D. Hamilton FRS on the topic of protein surface recognition, followed by further postdoctoral research with Professors E. W. (Bert) Meijer and Rint P. Sijbesma at Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) on the topic of supramolecular polymers. In 2004 he took up his first independent academic position as a Research Lecturer at The University of Leeds, where he was promoted to Professor of Organic Chemistry in 2012 and served as Deputy Director of the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology (2012-2018). Andy led the School of Chemistry undergraduate Medicinal Chemistry Degree programme (2008-2012) and served as director of postgraduate studies (2009-2012). Andy is also co-director of PPI-Net and served as a working group leader in the EU-COST action on Foldamers. Andy was appointed to the EPSRC Physical Sciences Strategic Advisory Team in 2019. Andy Joined the University of Birmingham as Professor of Chemical Biology in Sept 2023. Andy’s primary research interests centre on understanding and manipulating protein-protein interactions; his research group delivered generic approaches for inhibition of helix mediated PPIs; and, identified dual hDM2 and MCL-1 inhibition as a potential anticancer therapeutic approach. The group have also developed photocrosslinking methods for studies of peptide self-assembly, co-ordination complexes as receptors for protein surfaces and novel H-bonding motifs for self-sorting and materials science. He was recognized internationally by the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry Young Academic Scheme (2012) and through the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Bob Hay Lectureship (2012) and the RSC Norman Heatley Award (2016). He has ~100 papers (>3700 citations, H-Index 31), and is a regular invited speaker at international meetings (e.g. International Advanced School of Organic Chemistry, Ischia, 2014; Pacifichem, Honolulu, 2015). He has trained >30 PhD candidates and postdoctoral co-workers.

Hello! I am a technology professional and researcher with a passion for cybersecurity, Machine Learning, software development, and digital inclusion. I hold a Master’s in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University and a First-Class Honors Bachelor’s in Information Systems from the University of Rwanda. My journey into programming began in high school in 2015, and I’ve continued to pursue this passion through my academic and professional endeavors. As a Laidlaw Scholar since 2019, I worked on the TUZA Electronic Payment System (TUZA EPS) project as part of the program, focusing on digital payment solutions. I am currently a Research Associate at CMU-Africa, where I work on rural broadband connectivity and community networks, striving to bridge the digital divide and enhance access to technology in underserved areas. Beyond my professional work, I find joy in supporting and mentoring others. I enjoy playing squash, going to the gym, and attending Church Sunday service. My goal is to continue leveraging my skills to make a positive impact in the tech industry and contribute to the growth and development of others.  

I'm chemist undergraduate student from UR-CST .Currently, I am conducting a research on how humic acid can be extracted from compost materials which are disposed at landfills .Humic acid is known to be used as soil amendment in soil with low organic matter but also to improve both quality of soil and production from agriculture sector.
