The MCR Committee

Hey! I’m Chris, an MPhil student reading Economics. Outside of my studies, my time is largely split between serving as the MCR President, playing Blues Football, or wandering aimlessly around the New College grounds. Feel free to come and say hi or chat to me about anything (bonus points if it’s about finance or football).

Hi, I’m Ala, a DPhil student in Computer Science focusing on AI for drug discovery. When I’m not complaining about debugging, I enjoy bouldering, hiking, playing an electric guitar and reading.

Pat is a History student specialising in the eighteenth-century. He is most commonly found trying to find decent coffee in Oxford, and planning the next big social engagement. He specialises in nuanced discussions about history & people that most find dull.

Hi! I’m Ciara and I’m doing an MSt in German literature. I spend most of my time convincing people that Kafka is funny, but can otherwise be found at the MCR bar pretending to know how to play darts (pictured), attempting to juggle at Bops, or guilt-tripping people into coming to ‘crafternoons’. If you see a random ball of yarn anywhere in Oxford, it’s probably mine.

Hey I’m Molly, I’m a DPhil student in the AMES faculty. You can always catch me at a bop or bar exchange, rambling on about the niche figurines I’m studying.

I’m Barbie, a DPhil Student on the Chemistry in Cells programme (though I don’t do any Chemistry nor anything in cells). I am usually found rowing and subsequently running late to an MCR social.

Belle is reading for the DPhil in Classical Languages and Literature, specialising in the philosophy of ancient music theory. Born and raised in Shropshire, she previously studied in Edinburgh and Cambridge. When she’s not contemplating how to climb out of Plato’s Cave, you’ll find her rowing, reading terrible romance novels, and trying to pet every dog she sees.

Emily is from Wales and is studying for a DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics. When she isn’t in the lab, she’s talking about the lab, or trying to distract herself from the lab by exploring the green spaces around Oxford.

Albert is doing an MPhil in economics. His favorite activities, besides theorizing about economic growth and evolution, are to wander the Ashmolean and explore the local coffee scene.

Greg is a Civil Engineering student from New York. He specializes in getting evicted from sports grounds.

Andrew is a musician from central Scotland, currently pursuing an MSt in Music (Performance). Within New College, he oscillates rapidly between the Clore Music Studios and the bar, where he can often be found experimenting with cocktails and attempting to perfect the classics. Outside of his musical and MCR duties, he enjoys seeking out the perfect cup of coffee and taking long, contemplative walks through Christ Church Meadow.

George is a clinical medicine student from North Yorkshire. He mostly spends his time telling his patients to cut down on alcohol and eat healthier, then supplies our students with plenty of wine and cheese when he gets home. In his free time he loves spending time outdoors doing sport, cooking, and scouring the reduced aisle and fb marketplace for deals.

Charlotte is pursuing the MJur (and gets slightly annoyed at Oxford for being the only university where this degree is not called an LLM). She completed her legal training in Hamburg and Berlin and is now very excited to leave the law of German criminal procedure behind and focus exclusively on international law and commercial negotiation. In her free time, Charlotte loves trying out edible chemistry experiments (aka fermentation), sings badly in the Trinity choir and tries to find new ways to combine food and art into awesome MCR events!

Hiya! I’m Keely, and I’m your Womens Rep. Aside from spending the majority of my time in the library and cafes - I swear my course’s reading list is never-ending - you can expect to find me crocheting, watching f1 or most likely either in front of or behind the bar :)

Hi, I’m Izzy! I’m from North Carolina and I’m doing my MSt in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. When I’m not studying, I enjoy reading, playing D&D, and crochet!

Through my DPhil in Neuroscience, I try to understand why psychedelics can help people heal in various contexts and I study how they work using computational modeling of brain dynamics. In my role as LGBTQ+ rep, I hope to help create an environment in which no LGBTQ+ rep is necessary anymore. Outside my research, I love to dance and be involved in Oxford’s many societies.

Hi, I’m Victor and I’m studying for the diploma in legal studies. I come from France, and I studied law in Paris for three years. I’m pleased to be the environmental representative this year. Proud of my Burgundian roots. Old books and clarinet enthusiast.

Will is taking an MSt in English Lit, focusing on the twentieth century. When he doesn’t have his head in a book (or a pint), he enjoys running, playing the drums and writing.

Hi! I’m Clément and I’m doing a MSc in computer science. When I’m not messing around with computers, I love to play badminton, go cycling and spend time with friends. I’m in charge of this website so feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Gurdeep is a physician pursuing an MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership. Outside Oxford, he works as a healthcare strategist in the Middle East. In his (little) free time, he enjoys exercising, good food, and good company.
