Research interests:
Derivative-free optimization, nonlinear and nonconvex optimization, numerical analysis, scientific computing.
Further details:
I am a member of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling (InFoMM). My research is in the development of derivative-free algorithms for nonlinear optimization problems under the supervision of Coralia Cartis, in conjunction with the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG).
