Hi I'm Freddie, a student in PPE at Durham University with particular interests in British Political history and the development of its constitution.
I am excited to express this in my research project, focusing on the impact of formalised political parties on voter partisanship and the incumbency effect. Whilst contributing to the development of an existing dataset containing parliamentary election data from 1832 onwards, I am aiming to perform data-driven alaysis to evaluate Britain's shift from a candidate-based political tradition towards the dominance of party labels.
Outside of my studies, I am a keen church bellringer, an avid reader, and enjoy exploring new places.
Hi, I'm Carys a second year studying Medicine at the University of Cambridge.
My interests mainly lie in public health, preventive medicine and infectious diseases, however I find all aspects of clinical and community healthcare interesting. I am interested in potential research into antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and other pressing global issues, and seeing how we can ensure access to appropriate healthcare systemically by reducing inequalities.
This summer I completed my Leadership in Action project with the Red Hen Project in Cambridge - a charity dedicated to helping children and families facing hardship. The charity hopes to expand to a deprived region in Cambridge and I evaluated the current services available for children, and where the charity can create the most long standing impact. The project focussed on preventative measures to ensure children can live happier and healthier lives by reducing barriers they may face. This project solidified my current hope to work in paediatrics or public health.
I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering MEng at Imperial College London.
My research summer explored recent advancements in the automotive industry and consisted of attending symposiums, visiting leading automotive testing and research sites in China along with iteratively simulating hot stamping to optimise the sustainability and cost of each part produced. I have built a deep appreciation for the automotive industry, especially for their drive towards long-term sustainability and emphasis on passenger safety.
