Research interests
I'm interested in developing mathematical models of collective migration on growing domains, and in particular the impact it has on the travelling wave profile.
At the moment I am looking at how introducing growth factors changes the wave profile of the travelling front, the conditions necessary for invasion and/or extinction, and how the internal population structure is impacted.
