PhD in Scientific Computing, University of Warwick

I graduated with my PhD in the Warwick Centre fro Scientific Computing in April 2016. My supervisor was Prof. Mark Rodger in CSC and chemistry. My PhD thesis can be found here. Previously, I obtained my MSc degree in Financial Mathematics and Computation with distinction at the University of Leicester (2011) and a BSc degree in Information and Computational Science at BTBU, China (2010).
