IMI URI Talk: Why I did it Considering a career in academia Wanted to learn something that was not part of the university curriculum Opportunity to learn new skills → Looks good on your CV Pattern Formation in Thermally Convecting Non-Newtonian Fluids Supervisor: Prof. Jonathan Dawes IMI URI Project Summers of 2016/17 2 / 5

IMI URI Talk: What I Learned Maths is BIG, REALLY BIG! Learned about pattern formation. Learned how to read research papers, write reports and make posters for conferences Improved in LaTeX, MATLAB & MAPLE Pattern Formation in Thermally Convecting Non-Newtonian Fluids Supervisor: Prof. Jonathan Dawes IMI URI Project Summers of 2016/17 3 / 5

IMI URI Talk Would I recommend it? - Yes! Gives you research experience (excellent for PhD’s) Really enjoyed it Met lots of people from various courses Got to do something productive over the summer (+ get paid!) Most importantly, got a certificate :P. Pattern Formation in Thermally Convecting Non-Newtonian Fluids Supervisor: Prof. Jonathan Dawes IMI URI Project Summers of 2016/17 4 / 5
