Samuel Buxton

Dedicated mathematics undergraduate, additionally passionate about - and pursuing - biology, computing, and statistics modules. I was drawn to this opportunity through its cumulation of my interests and academic pursuits; together with its encouragement of researching from one's own perspective. Throughout my degree, I have developed the ability to use my scientific and coding skills to write academic reports to a high standard, and in a timely manner. I have consistently shown my ability and desire to challenge myself and adapt to unfamiliar scenarios, which I would be honoured to display through this project.

• Conducted my own analysis in R (with findings presented on GitHub) into the factors affecting work absenteeism, and how these can be combatted.
• Collaborated with course mates to create and present a LaTeX poster, including R code and graphics, detailing projective geometry and finite fields.
• Completed two research projects in SPSS and Stata investigating the impact of economic status on health, and a project investigating voting preferences in the UK by region.
• Proficient in using python to enhance biological reports, investigate hypotheses and justify conclusions. Aptly demonstrated by a research project into parasitic life cycles, their spread and control.
