Current Committee

Hi, I’m Dylan, your summer MCR president! I’m a second-year PhD student here at Emma (the friendly college) studying 3D printing. I did my master's here too, making this my third year in the MCR and second time on the committee. When I’m not rowing on the river or playing spikeball on the paddock, you’ll probably find me in Fiona’s, drinking an espresso. I look forward to welcoming some of you back and most of you here for the first time in October. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions as you settle in, or even just to say hi :)

Hiya! I'm Jackie. As your Secretary, I’m responsible for coordinating MCR Committee meetings and sending out your weekly bulletin to ensure everyone is aware of upcoming events. I'm also committed to easing the organizational burden of MCR formals, swaps, and external events. Don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hi everyone! I’m Madeline (she/her), and I’m completing the MPhil in Biological Sciences at the Sanger Institute. In my research, I stain immune cells with fun colors and then use computational methods to understand the mechanism of immune disease. I’m originally from the US, and I studied math and biology at Williams College in Massachusetts. I love to knit, play violin with the Cambridge Graduate Orchestra, and go for runs around Cambridge. I also love to read, and I’m always looking for book and podcast recommendations for my (very long) bus commutes to Sanger!

Hi! :) I am Minnal and I am currently in the first year of my PhD in Neuroscience. I work just down the road from Emma, at Downing Site. So, when I’m not hanging out with the mice in the lab, I am likely hanging out with the ducks on the paddock. I'm your Welfare Officer for the summer. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Hi everyone! I am Soniya, a second year PhD student in Quantitative Marketing at the Judge Business School. I research on innovations & marketing strategies of small scale entrepreneurs & digital platforms in emerging markets. With a passion for bringing people together and a knack for organizing unforgettable events, I'm ready to make our social calendar the best it's ever been.

Hi! I'm Callum, and I'm in the second year of my PhD in Earth Sciences. Last year, when not out with the Icelandic volcanoes or in the lab, I really valued the MCR education events such as Grad Talks and the MCR symposium. I'm looking forward to running these this year; reach out with questions or suggestions!

Hi!! I’m Nmeso. I’m Nigerian and a current MPhil student in Energy technologies interested in building energy research. I’m your minorities coalition officer for the rest of the summer. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Hello! I’m Sebastian, I’m a first year Chemistry PhD working on developing new therapeutics to combat neurodegenerative diseases. I’m originally from Mexico, but I’ve been in Cambridge for two years, so I am very familiar with the ups and downs of being an international student in the UK. 

Hi, I’m Sam and I’m a 3rd year PhD student. I am delighted to be the MCR Families’ Officer, and I hope to ensure that everyone feels welcome, included and happy in our MCR community. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Hi! I'm Ellen and I'm a first-year PhD student at the CRUK Cambridge Institute, developing machine learning models to research breast cancer. When I'm not coding or buried in MCR tasks, you can catch me trying new foods and spending time in nature, whether walking, hiking, or more recently rowing. 

As external events officer, I am here to build connections with other colleges. Message me if you have any ideas or questions :)
