| − | I am currently a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Control Engineering with [[User:Antonis|Professor Antonis Papachristodoulou]], in the SySOS group at the Department of Engineering Science in the University of Oxford. I received an MMath in Mathematics in 2008 as a student of Trinity College, University of Oxford. In 2015 I completed my DPhil (i.e. PhD) in Engineering Science funded by an EPSRC scholarship through the Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre. My [[#Thesis|thesis]] focused on decomposition and reduction techniques for large-scale ODE models, with applications to models used in Systems and Synthetic Biology. Between these two degrees, I also spent two years as an Operational Research consultant in industry.
