Background
Elise is currently an undergraduate student studying applied and computational mathematics, working as a Research Assistant at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and is a member of QUT’s Applied Mathematical Ecology Group. She has previously completed undergraduate degrees in applied science (biotechnology and biomolecular science) and classical music. Elise’s research interest is mathematical ecology and Antarctica has been an interest of hers for as long as she can remember, not only because of it’s remote location, but because of it’s scientific significance and how much we are yet to learn.
