Working with BT on distributed optimization of dense 4G communication systems.

Amy graduated in Mathematics from the University of Edinburgh in 2012 and from King’s College London in 2014. In between those years and afterwards she worked in financial services. Her undergraduate dissertation was on Monte Carlo Methods, mainly focusing on Queuing Theory and simulating queues. Outside of mathematics she enjoys being outdoors and active and likes going on adventures with friends.

Research project title:
Distributed optimisation of LTE systems

Project description:
Amy’s project looked more fundamentally at the mathematics of self-optimising networks; in particular setting up and analysing precise dynamical models in order to gain information about fundamental limits of what can be achieved when system optimisation has to be performed with incomplete information. Working in collaboration with BT, Amy’s project developed ways in which existing theory in diverse fields such as information theory, discrete time dynamical systems, stochastic processes, optimisation, and others could be brought together to solve complex mathematical problems
