Background

---

I completed my undergraduate studies at University College London where I read for a Mathematics with Modern Languages Msci. I have since moved to the University of Warwick, where I comleted the combined Msc+PhD Complexity DTC programme.

PhD Project

---

Supervisors: Jim Bull from Life Sciences, Swansea University and Matt Keeling from Mathematics & Life Sciences.

Thesis title: Pattern Formation and Resilience in Vegetative Ecosystems.

Investigted spatial growth phenomena in Seagrass ecology using a variety of statistical and mathematical techniques. These include patch dynamic models and using fractal properties of patch clusters to infer biological processes.

Interests

---

• pattern formation
• Quantifying variability and extinction
• model fitting

I am also interested in transient behaviour in Host-Parasitoid dynamics and disease and species diffusion on fragmented environments.

Msc Projects

---

I completed two projects as part of my MSc in complexity:

• The Role of Memory in Adaptive Food Webs
• The Role of Hubs in the Emergence of Tags on Scale-Free Networks

Membership

---

• British Ecological Society (BES)
• Warwick Infectious Diseases & Epidemiology Research (WIDER)

Teaching

---

• Topics in Mathematical Biology Support Class 2011-2013(MA390)
• Undergraduate Supervisor
