About

I completed my PhD in Applied Mathematics under the supervision of Prof. John Appleby at Dublin City University. I was a postdoctoral researcher at Brandeis University with Prof. Jonathan Touboul and subsequently joined Prof. Simon Levin’s lab at Princeton University to work on mathematical vegetation dynamics models. As of August 2023, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University.

 

In my doctoral work, I studied qualitative properties of nonlinear differential systems with memory and subject to random noise. In my postdoctoral work, I expanded my research interests to include applications of techniques from dynamical systems and stochastic analysis to problems in ecology (savanna-forest modelling), developmental biology (cell fate dynamics in the brain), and epidemiology (malaria immune dynamics). See my research page for further details.

I am actively looking for talented PhD students and potential postdoctoral researchers to work on projects. Some details of previous student projects are on my Projects & Students page. If you want to work together, please contact me directly to discuss potential projects.

Teaching is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job, and I am committed to teaching to the highest standard possible; you can check out my teaching page and read about my teaching philosophy here.
