University Research
This section of the site covers independent research work that I carried out as a part of my university studies. The only research presented here are instances of where I was given full autonomy over the process; many of the university modules were "on rails", and as such there would be little value to presenting those here. I've also unearthed the original report's for each of them, which provide a significantly greater level of insight for those who are interested.
