Since the fall, Trang Duong '22 has worked as a researcher with Oxford University’s Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU), which is modeling COVID-19 cases and transmission in her home country of Vietnam.
Trang, a math major who is also planning to minor in data science, had been doing her own research on COVID-19 in the summer and, looking for a more formal role, found a data scientist on LinkedIn who is part of the Oxford research unit.
"I messaged him to learn more about his work. After our chat, he offered me an interview with the head of mathematical modelling at OUCRU and I got an internship offer," she explains. And while the internship ended in January, Trang has been kept on as a research assistant.
