Background

I am currently a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in Control Engineering with Professor Antonis Papachristodoulou, in the SySOS group at the Department of Engineering Science in the University of Oxford. As a student of Trinity College, University of Oxford, I received an MMath in Mathematics in 2008, and in 2015 I completed my DPhil in Engineering Science as part of the Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre, funded by an EPSRC scholarship. Between these two degrees, I spent two years in a major European tour operator as an Operational Research consultant. My thesis, supervised by Antonis Papachristodoulou, focused on decomposition and reduction techniques for large-scale ODE models, with applications to models used in Systems and Synthetic Biology.


Interests

  • Layered architecture of complex systems
  • Mathematical and Systems Biology
  • Synthetic Biology
  • Networked, multi-scale models of dynamical systems
  • Structured model reduction and error propagation

Additionally, past projects have been in:

My work as an OR consultant at Tui centred on:

  • Yield/revenue management (specifically, using price-sensitive optimization)
  • Search algorithms
