Personal profile
Research interests
I am a Reader and Medical Research Council CDA Fellow in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. I am also a member of the UK Young Academy.
I use mathematical modelling techniques to model infectious disease spread within the body. I use differential equations and individual-based models to mimic disease progression and simulate novel treatment strategies.
