About

Personal homepage

I am an Associate Professor in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Worcester College. My research lies at the interface of stochastic analysis, numerical analysis, and interacting particle systems, with particular emphasis on stochastic partial differential equations, fluctuating hydrodynamics, mean-field limits, and structure-preserving numerical methods.
