Research
My research involves applying a variety of computational and mathematical techniques to interesting problems, mostly in Biology. My interests are in collective motion (particularly in interaction networks and the role of noise) and microbiology (particularly in metabolism, spatial structure and plasmid dynamics) as well as modelling air and naval warfare and glycosylation.
Teaching and scholarship
I am a naturally interdisciplinary researcher and my primary goal in teaching is to give students enthusiasm for working between disciplinary boundaries. For students with a more mathematical background this could be encouragement to engage in some of the exciting topics across the sciences or for students with a for those with a more biological background it is encouragement to feel that mathematical and computational methods are something they can incorporate into their thinking and techniques.
