Short projects

I have co-supervised a number of Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) short projects:

  • Sara-Jane Dunn - Towards a colonic crypt model with deformable geometry (2008)
  • Philip Gemmell - Biomechanical effects in a lattice-free model of cell proliferation (2009)
  • Konstantinos Sakellariou - Modelling perineural tumour invasion (2009)
  • Suruchi Bakshi - Mathematical modelling of the Drosophila germ line stem cell niche (2009)
  • Ciara Dangerfield - Boolean network models in systems biology: life is not black and white (2009)
  • Sophie Kershaw - Perineural tumour invasion: discrete versus continuum approaches (2009)
  • Daniel Harvey - The investigation and implementation of an efficient connection identification algorithm in the Chaste framework (2010)
  • Jonas Schluter - Multiscale modelling of quorum sensing in bacterial biofilms: continuum and particle-based models (2010)
  • Margarita Schlackow - The effect of motility on attachment in Rhodobacter Sphaeroides: an integrative study (2010)
  • Anna Jones - Mathematical modelling of perineural invasion (2011)
  • Aimee Taylor - Mathematical modelling of lactate shuttling as a therapeutic target for cancer (2011)
Doctoral Training Centres

In addition to proposing and supervising DTC short projects, I have been involved to various extents in lecturing, demonstrating, setting/marking problem sheets and group projects, and course organization for the following taught courses at the DTCs:

  • Mathematical and Engineering Modelling in Biology
  • Scientific Computing in Matlab
  • Computational Biology
  • Introductory Mathematics
BA and MMath courses
  • Stipendiary lecturer at St Hugh's College and external tutor at Christ Church College, Somerville College and Trinity College. Duties involved: teaching and marking for individual/pair tutorials, revision consultation sessions, setting/marking mock exams and vacation work, exam script checking, undergraduate admissions, pastoral care.
  • Part C teaching assistant - Perturbation Methods, Mathematical Physiology
  • Part B class tutor and teaching assistant - Mathematical Ecology and Biology, Nonlinear Systems
  • Part A tutorials - Analysis, Differential Equations, Probability, Calculus of Variations, Classical Mechanics
