Data-driven Approaches to Stellar Variability Detection and Characterisation
I present the work completed during my time as a PhD student within the Exoplanet Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK, as a part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Data-Intensive Sciences. ... -
Numerical modelling of plasmas formed and magnetically controlled in hypersonic flows
In high enthalpy hypersonic flows, the pressures and temperatures in the shock layer can become so extreme that dissociation and ionisation reactions produce a weakly ionised plasma. Owing to its elevated electrical ... -
Tests of lepton universality in $B^{0} \to K_{S}^{0} l^{+} l^{-}$ and $B^{+} \to K^{*+} l^{+} l^{-}$ decays at the LHCb experiment
The decays $B^{0} \to K_{S}^{0} l^{+} l^{-}$ and $B^{+} \to K^{*+} l^{+} l^{-}$ - where $l^{+} l^{-}$ represents an electron-positron or muon-antimuon pair - are examples of $b \to s l^{+} l^{-}$ processes. Numerous analyses ... -
The role of mechanotransduction in signalling and pluripotent stem cell fate
Early embryonic development is a dynamic process in which cells are exposed to soluble and mechanical cues in the microenvironment in a spatially and temporally organised manner. Although increasing evidence suggests that ...
