Earlier this week, STOR-i PhD graduate Lucy Morgan was honoured to receive the KD Tocher Medal alongside co-authors Andrew Titman, Dave Worthington and Barry L Nelson for their paper 'A spline function method for modelling and generating a nonhomogeneous poisson process', which was developed during Lucy's PhD study. The medal was awarded by the Operational Research Society at The Royal Society during the Blackett Lecture, and is given 'in recognition of the most outstanding contribution to the philosophy, theory or practice of simulation published in the Journal of Simulation'.

Lucy now leads the simulation team within The Strategy Unit, a specialist NHS internal consultancy team producing high-quality, multi-disciplinary analytical work - and helping people to apply the results.
