Since I realized I wanted to pursue a PhD, I pushed towards obtaining as much research experience aspossible. In my 2nd year I chose to do a UROP, researching the electrophysiological response of flies whenexposed to a deformation of their visual field during flight. Collaborating with the PDRA and PhD students, Ihelped develop a new platform to acquire electrophysiological data. Drawing on their expertise I sought tounderstand the complex biological phenomena involved and expand on my engineering skills. Thisexperience was so fulfilling that, when some personal and mental health issues lead to me having to takean interruption of studies, I chose as part of my recovery to take on an additional summer research projectduring which I helped develop a new type of optical system called a spatial filter beam expander. Tacklingthis project independently, I made enough progress that my supervisor believes we can publish this work ina journal like Optics Letters or Scientific Reports. Finally, during my final year project I will be designing andbuilding a system to detect bioweapons using stand-off Raman spectroscopy, and will give me a head startin the skills, techniques and topics required to succeed in this field.Outside of my academic and research time, I enjoy spending time as a teaching assistant and in one-to-onetutoring sessions. I also enjoy sports and travelling, which are an endless source of inspiration and ideas.I find the applications of such basic principles such as light, sound and waves into a practical, life-savingsituation fascinating. By taking part in the Smart Medical Imaging Centre for Doctoral Training, I believe Ican put my wide interdisciplinary skills together with the training provided by the course to develop of abioimaging technique

自从我意识到我想攻读博士学位，我就努力获得尽可能多的研究经验。在我的第二年，我选择做UROP，研究苍蝇在飞行过程中暴露于视野变形时的电生理反应。与PDRA和博士生合作，我帮助开发了一个新的平台来获取电生理数据。利用他们的专业知识，我试图理解所涉及的复杂生物现象，并扩展我的工程技能。这段经历是如此的充实，以至于当一些个人和心理健康问题导致我不得不中断学习时，我选择了作为恢复的一部分来承担额外的夏季研究项目，在此期间，我帮助开发了一种新型的光学系统，称为空间滤波器扩束器。独立处理这个项目，我取得了足够的进展，我的上司认为我们可以在光学快报或科学报告杂志上发表这项工作。最后，在我的最后一年项目中，我将设计和建造一个系统，使用stand-off拉曼光谱检测生物武器，并将给我一个领先的技能，技术和主题，需要在这个领域取得成功。我的学术和研究时间之外，我喜欢花时间作为助教和一对一的辅导课程。我也喜欢运动和旅行，这是灵感和想法的无尽源泉。我发现光、声和波等基本原理在实际中的应用，拯救生命的情况令人着迷。通过参加智能医学影像中心的博士培训，我相信我可以把我广泛的跨学科技能与课程提供的培训结合起来，发展生物成像技术
