Background

I am currently a Post-Doctoral Research Associate 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 (i.e. PhD) in Engineering Science as part of the Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre, funded by an EPSRC scholarship. 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. Between these two degrees, I also spent two years as an Operational Research consultant in industry.

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
