Why did you apply for this internship?
I applied as I'm interested in becoming a research software engineer because of the potential to complete work that makes a real impact on people. I've always wanted to work at the forefront of innovation and be excited by the work I do, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to realise that. I love working with data and finding ways to improve systems, and I know that I'll learn a significant amount during this internship that I can take into the future. I aim to learn as much as possible during these couple of months. I have worked on mainframe applications during my time on a previous placement, and I would like to build on these unique experiences further by exploring different high-throughput systems and the impact they can have, particularly within research. I would love to build my experience as much as possible in areas that I cannot explore as much in my own time with limited resources, as well as improving my skills when working in teams. Finally, it would be great to contribute to a project that makes a tangible difference to research and learn about new topics like deep learning and high-throughput GPUs, as well as toolkits such as HTCondor.

What do you hope to gain in completing this project?
I hope to learn a lot of new skills working with HTCondor and other software, as well as gaining an insight into what it's like working in research. This is an area I'm extremely interested in, so it would be incredibly helpful to confirm whether this is something I'd want to pursue in the future.

Advancing Statistical and Mathematical Validation for Maternal Mental Health Recovery Pathway: Deep Learning, Evaluation, and Evidence-Based Insights
Intern: Zain Safdar
Degree course: BSc Computer Science
https://www.linkedin.com/in/zain-z-safdar/

Why did you apply for this internship?
The internship appealed to me as it offered a chance to apply theoretical data science techniques in a real-world context that has potential for meaningful community impact.

What do you hope to gain in completing this project?
I hope to gain an appreciation for how things are done in a professional setting. Getting insights from veterans of the industry, as well as understanding the considerations made when dealing with sensitive data.
