Summary:
I am a mathematical biologist/ecologist and currently work as a postdoctoral research assistant in the lab led by
Nicola R. Stanley-Wall in the Division of Molecular Microbiology
and with Fordyce A. Davidson in the Division of Mathematics
the University of Dundee. My current research focusses on the mathematical modelling of biofilm formation.
Previously, I obtained a PhD at the Maxwell Institute Graduate School in Analysis and its Applications (MIGSAA), a Centre for Doctoral Training at Heriot-Watt University and The University of Edinburgh. Working under the supervision of Jonathan A. Sherratt, my research focussed on the modelling of dryland vegetation patterns and in particular on competition and coexistence theory.
A more detailed description of my work can be found in my research statement.
