About Jeremy:

What is your reason for your course choice?

In truth, I mostly picked my course because I trusted my supervisor to be doing really interesting and atypical work. I also felt like particle physics would allow me to work with statistics, mathematics, and computer science together, more so than any other subject.

When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?

I started rowing in Cambridge at Churchill College. I love the raw physicality of the sport and how it gets one’s mind off any stressors off the water.

What was your first rowing club and coach?

My first coach was Christian Lindig (C-lizzle) at Churchill College Boat Club

What or who was the earliest sporting inspiration you remember as a child?

Michael Jordan

What sport did you prioritise growing up?

Mostly Basketball

What is your favourite non-academic book?

Anything by Sally Rooney
