In March, one of our excellent PhD students Jamie McKeown was selected to present his research in the prestigious STEM for Britain competition, held at the Houses of Parliament.

The event is a highly competitive scientific poster competition, organised by the Parliamentary & Scientific Committee to celebrate the work of early career researchers. Jamie had the opportunity to present a poster of his PhD research, focused on the development of partial differential equation models to describe invasive pest spread in the UK.

You can read an interview with Jamie and learn more about his research and STEM for Britain experience in the News Article here: Mathematics PhD student represents Newcastle at STEM for Britain 2026.

Congratulations Jamie!
