Research Interests: 

My research interests are in complex networks and pure graph theory, and I am especially keen on problems combining the two. Most of my work is with my supervisor Dr Mason Porter at the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, where I am studying longitudinal (time-evolving) political networks, with a focus on social and political networks in the United States Congress.

At the same time I am also working with co-supervisor Prof Alex Scott in the Combinatorics research group. We have recently been looking at equitable colourings of random graphs.
