Research interests

I am a mathematical modeller interested in population dynamics, and in particular, epidemiology. My DPhil involved formulating mathematical models to describe and forecast both the spread of infectious diseases including Influenza and COVID-19 throughout a population, and the evolution of disease severity wihin an individual. My previous work includes modelling the roasting of coffee beans for my InFoMM Mini Project, and the popularity of viral videos using an epidemic model for my Masters thesis.
