Research

Remez algorithm with rational function approximation (Supervised by Prof Abiy Tasissa)

Use rational function rather than traditional MSE to fit data: (expected to publish in 2022)

3 original ideas to improve the accuracy:

1) piecewise Remez algorithm

2) adapted differential correction algorithm to avoid overfitting

3) Bayesian inference to treat polynomials coefficients as parameters given number of functions much greater than parameters.

Mathematical modelling of tumour growth (bachelor dissertation supervised by Prof Mark Chaplain)

  • Discretize diffusion equations to simulate patients' surviving time under various treatments.
