Dylan - Oxford
DPhil biochemistry - University of Oxford
Hi I'm Dylan and I'm a Computational Biochemistry DPhil (PhD) student at Green Templeton College, University of Oxford. My area of research is in antimicrobial resistance - in particular I am researching how to use machine learning methods, such as graph neural networks, to predict whether novel mutations in pathogens can cause resistance to certain antibiotics. I previously completed my undergraduate Biochemistry degree (MBiochem) also at Oxford, during which I achieved an Academic Exhibition for First Class results in my finals examinations.
In between my undergraduate and DPhil studies, I spent 2 years working at AstraZeneca as a Data Engineer, working in machine learning and software development with the application of aiding aspects of the drug discovery pipeline. It's great that I am now able to combine these programming related skills with my background in Biochemistry in my DPhil research, which is co-supervised and sponsored by IBM research.
Having been at Oxford for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, I have a thorough understanding of exactly what tutors expect to see from successful applications and the skills which need to be exhibited in the interview process. I have worked with Biochemistry students preparing for their finals exams and helped them to First Class results, as well as tutoring undergraduates. I have a personable and hands-on approach to teaching and would provide a rewarding and enjoyable experience for students when tutoring them and providing them with university application support.
