Thesis Title: Stochastic tools for the analysis and design of biochemical networks

Supervisor: Dr Glenn Vinnicombe

Background

Andreas received his BA(Hons) and MEng degrees in 2014 from the University of Cambridge (Trinity College) in Electrical and Information Sciences (Engineering Tripos). As an undergraduate he received the G-Research and The Technology Partnership (TTP) Awards, as well as a Gold medal (2nd place in Europe) and the 'Best Experimental Measurement Approach Award', representing the university at the International Genetically Engineered Machines Competition (iGEM). He is currently a Ph.D. candidate, creating stochastic tools on graphs for the analysis and design of biochemical networks.

Research Interests
