Research interests

My primary interests are centred around improving treatment scheduling and patient outcome prediction using tools from population and agent-based modelling, statistical inference and deep learning methods. My current work focuses on treatment-resistant prostate and ovarian cancers, but develops themes applicable to a range of disease and treatment settings.

Teaching

I am currently a Stipendiary Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at St Hildas College, teaching the following courses:

1st Year: Introductory Calculus, Geometry, Multivariate Calculus, Dynamics
2nd Year: Differential Equations II, Waves & Fluids, Quantum Theory, Special Relativity

I also hold a College Lectureship at Keble College, teaching Introductory and Multivariate Calculus as well as Mathematical Modeling for Biology.

Previously, I have taught the following courses:

3rd/4th Year Mathematical Biology (to 1st Year PhD Students)
Graduate Software Engineering (Doctoral Training Centre)
3rd Year Classical Dynamics (Physics - St Edmund Hall)
1st Year Special Relativity (Physics - St Edmund Hall)
1st Year Statistics (Department of Biochemistry)
