I am a 1st year PhD student in Hearing Sciences at the University of Nottingham. My thesis explores building scalable technologies to foster safe listening in music venues.
🔭 I’m currently working on:
- 📈 dB SPL: A common data model for structuring and organising amplified sound data.
- ✍🏾 PhDemi: A blog to document my PhD journey
👩🏾💻 My previous projects:
- 🌳 Sounding Climate Change: I explored how climate change data could be used to inform musical insights and ideas for climate-related concepts. I built a tool, ClimaTunes, to transform climate change data into musical motifs and phrases. This tool will become another interface for musical expression.
- 🏥 Breast Cancer ML Study: I explored a Breast Cancer dataset to perform regression on response-free survival (RFS), and binary classification on pathological complete response (pCR). Using Python libraries such as pandas, numpy, seaborn and skit-learn and working in a group of 5 people.
- 👩🏾💻 Ovn. Tinder for recipes: To learn more about software quality assurance, we built a recipe dating app that will match individuals based on what recipes they like. The app frontend is a native Android application with Java, the backend is NodeJS with TypeScript.
🌱 I’m currently learning:
- Flutter: Building an local offline recipe app 🍜
- SQL and databases
- Academic writing ✍🏾
👩🏾💻 Favourite coding languages:
- Python
- Kotlin
- Swift
