      Summer Research Associate

      During a self-organised summer internship, I played a critical role in a new mathematical theory for modelling supra-glacial streams, i.e. streams that form on the top of glaciers. I was responsible developing the theoretical model through analytical equations, which was compared with experimental data and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. I organised all aspects of the trip and arranged for all of the funding.
