About me

I am an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at University College London. Previously, I was a Hooke Research Fellow at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, where I was affiliated to OCIAM.

I use mechanistic modelling to understand a wide range of emergent physical and biological phenomena in areas including: biological signalling, carbon recycling, cell motility, cryopreservation, decontamination, synthetic biology, and tissue engineering. Many of these application areas fall under fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, and industrial mathematics, and involve collaborating with experimental and industrial partners.

While the applications I consider are diverse, one unifying theme is the methodology I use. I am able to significantly reduce the computational complexity of solving a given problem through a systematic hybrid approach, combining sophisticated asymptotic (multiscale) techniques and numerical methods. This allows me to significantly reduce the computational complexity of solving a given problem, gain greater mechanistic insight into the systems that I model, and to provide efficient predictive tools for experimentalists.

If you are interested in working with me, do get in touch. I am happy to discuss support for external Fellowships, as well as potential PhD projects.
