-      "For his final year dissertation on the topic of patterned defects in graphene, Michael Gauci applied molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, a technique known for providing more accurate sampling than Monte Carlo which fails to adhere to the physical properties of the chemical system. Due to the high computational demand required for this study, Michael was granted access to the university's high-performance computing facility, where he gained proficiency in the Linux command line.",

-      "The Masters undertaken by Michael primarily consisted in a theoretical study of novel folded forms of graphene, achieved through the use of the advanced molecular dynamics simulation software known as LAMMPS. In view of the large volume of data produced during the study, custom Python scripts were pivotal in streamlining the analysis process of the large datasets produced by the simulations",
+      "Michael resumed his academic studies by pursuing a Master's program in which he examined novel forms of folded graphene from a theoretical perspective. The accompanying MD simulations yielded large volumes of data, compelling the use of Python to streamline the analysis process and advanced statistical techniques for their interpretation, while high-quality visuals were vital to clearly communicate the results of the study.",
