RESEARCH INTERESTs
I work in mathematical biology, a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that requires a synthesis of information from a variety of perspectives, creative modelling, and interaction with researchers from a range of areas.
Specific areas that I work on include mathematical immunology, cancer dynamics, virus dynamics, and human evolution. To address these problems, I apply ordinary, delay, and partial differential equations and agent/individual-based models.
I am a member of the Applied Mathematics Research Group.
My research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Fundamental Laws of Nature, Complex Systems, Precision and Digital Health, Understanding Disease & Disorder in Humans, Data and Decisions.
