I am an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, affiliated to OCIAM, and a Tutorial Fellow in Mathematics at Keble College, University of Oxford. I use mechanistic modelling to understand a wide range of emergent physical and biological phenomena in areas including: active matter, biological signalling, carbon recycling, decontamination, and synthetic biology. Many of these application areas fall under fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, and industrial mathematics, and involve collaborating with experimental and industrial partners.
A unifying theme of my research is multiscale mathematical methodology. I use a 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 experimental and industrial partners.
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.
