Research interests

I'm interested in developing mathematical models for applications in biology and medicine. My current research project is developing models for the mechanics of menstrual cups. I'm also involved in a collaboration with Women in Mathematical Biology working on modelling the change in coagulation response to oral contraceptives. 

My DPhil was developing models for the Humanoid Bioreactor under development at the Nuffield Department for Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences. This project aims to develop a new platform for tendon tissue engineering.
