Data Champions Search

I am a PhD student studying the compaction of pharmaceutical powders into tablets. My main focus is on computer simulations but I make intensive use of experimental data to parametrise and validate my models. I like combining experimental and computational results as well as developing automated analysis methods. I also have experience working with large data sets and high-performance computing (HPC). Although my current research is on granular matter, my background is mainly in colloidal chemistry.

Dequn (Peter) Teng is a Ph.D. candidate supervised by Dr. Veronica Martinez in the Business Model Innovation Group at the Institute of Manufacturing. His current research area is on blockchain and machine learning integrated methods for supply chain management.
   
Dequn graduated from University of Liverpool (2+2 route) with a first class honours degree in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. His past research experiences relate to blockchain and digital innovation, with peer reviewed conference paper publications on IEEE Xplore and EI. Additionally, He has ten invention patent applications under substantive review process, ranging from Blockchain and Mechanical Design Innovation. For industrial exposure, he has taken research internships at Deutsche Bank (Shanghai) for digital transformation research, and Unilever (UK) for PowerBI visualization. Moreover, he loves mathematical modelling and was awarded Meritorious Winner at the Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

Elizabeth has an MPhil in HPS from Cambridge and has worked for the Newton Project Canada. She has worked for the Darwin Correspondence Project for more than fifteen years, and assisted in the conversion of the Project's core files to TEI XML, and is now developing and implementing strategies to ensure the quality, robustness, interoperability, and long-term viability of our electronic data. She is a co-founder of Epsilon, a nineteenth century science letters platform and has been a guest lecturer at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School.

Florian Markowetz is a Senior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. He is a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award holder and received a CRUK Future Leader in Cancer Research prize. He holds degrees in Mathematics (Dipl. math.) and Philosophy (M.A.) from the University of Heidelberg and a Dr. rer. nat. (PhD equivalent) in Computational Biology from Free University Berlin, for which he was awarded an Otto-Hahn Medal by the Max Planck Society. His group at the CRUK Cambridge Institute combines computational work on cancer evolution and image analysis of the tumour tissue with experimental work on understanding key cancer mechanisms like the estrogen receptor.
