Hello! I’m Joe Rutherford, and I am currently studying for an MRes in Statistics and Operational Research at Lancaster University. This is my academic website, where you can find out more about me, read all about any research I have done or am interested in doing, and read any blogs I write; if you are intrigued by any of this or have any questions to ask, you can also contact me.
Education
I finished my A-Levels in Chemistry, Mathematics and Further Mathematics in 2020, and I subsequently began studying my BSc in Mathematics at Lancaster University, which I went on to finish in 2023. While studying for my BSc, I realised that I was very interested in the Statistics modules, so when I was approached and offered a place on the STOR-i course, I felt like it would be a great opportunity for me to further my passion for Statistics whilst also getting the opportunity to learn about Operational Research. In 2024, I finished my MRes in Statistics and Operational Research, and will continue with my dissertation project for my PhD.
Hobbies
In my free time, I enjoy doing things that make my brain tick, like solving one of my 25+ Rubik’s cube (or related) puzzles, completing logic puzzles, doing Sudoku, and doing jigsaws. I also play a Tenor Horn and play in my university Brass Band, taking part in the annual UniBrass competition and Whit Friday Marches.
