(He/him) 2022 | Masters in Mathematics and Data Science; University of Bath

Hi I’m Harry. I’ll be studying a master’s in Mathematics and Data Science at the University of Bath. I recently graduated from the University of York studying Mathematics. I’ve always had a love for the subject in both pure and applied mathematics, but my focus recently has shifted towards data science. I’m a firm believer in the science’s ability to make meaningful improvements in the world, machine learning and AI have so many incredible applications for improving the lives of billions and I hope to be a small part of that in the future.

Despite growing up with cerebral palsy I’ve always been an avid sportsman, at University I began fencing, later becoming president of the club. I ended up regularly competing for the University in able bodied competitions but also wheelchair fencing. As a wheelchair fencer I have competed internationally, am a SportsAid sponsored athlete and a member of the Team England Futures sport development program and I hope to compete at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

Receiving a Snowdon Scholarship is life changing, it will allow me to focus on my academics, while freeing up time and funds for training and competing that will hopefully let me fulfil my sporting dreams. I hope that one day I will be able to be a positive role model to disabled youth and encourage and inspire the next generation of disabled athletes, and this Scholarship is an integral part of making that a reality.
