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以来，我就努力获得尽可能多的研究经验。在我的第二年，我选择进行 UROP，研究果蝇在飞行过程中视野变形时的电生理反应。我与 PDRA 和博士生合作，帮助开发了一个新平台来获取电生理数据。借助他们的专业知识，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，我选择承担一个额外的夏季研究项目作为我康复的一部分，在此期间我帮助开发了一种称为空间滤光扩束器的新型光学系统。独立完成这个项目，我取得了足够的进展，我的导师相信我们可以在《光学快报》或《科学报告》等期刊上发表这项工作。最后，在我最后一年的项目中，我将设计和构建一个使用远距离拉曼光谱检测生物武器的系统，这将使我在该领域取得成功所需的技能、技巧和主题方面处于领先地位。在我的学术和研究时间之外，我喜欢花时间担任助教和一对一的辅导课程。我还喜欢运动和旅行，它们是灵感和想法的无尽源泉。我发现将光、声和波等基本原理应用到实际的、拯救生命的情况中是令人着迷的。通过参加智能医学影像中心博士培训，我相信我可以将自己广泛的跨学科技能与课程提供的培训结合起来，发展生物影像技术
