Originally from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, I took my undergraduate studies at the University of Bath where I completed my MMath. As part of MASDOC I have completed an MSc in Mathematics and Statistics and I have now completed my PhD in Mathematics.

My current position is as a postdoctroal research fellow under the EQUIP grant.

My current interests are in the deterministic and probabilistic solution to PDE based inverse problems. In particular, my directions lie in solutions of the inverse Eikonal equation, and the application of this to first traveltime tomography problems in geophysics.

My PhD resided in applied analysis and numerics. The analysis I am studied was a diffuse interface (phase field) model of multiphase fluids to answer questions of whether this mathematical approach can still capture accurate behavioural properties, especially regarding phenomena along interfaces such as the effects of surfactants. I have written a scheme to model these systems in the DUNE-FEM toolbox, which I have shown is second order accurate with variable and fixed density flow, and demonstrated stability.

Prior to this , my MSc year of the MASDOC program included projects in multiscale crystal modelling and in numerical methods for moving surface PDE systems. My fourth year project in Bath - titled "Optimal Transport and its Applications" - was completed under Professor Chris Budd.

Current Research: Diffuse interface modelling of multiphase fluid with surfactant.

A brief overview of my research is given by these slides. (Note: animations will not play in online PDF reader). These are for a more general PhD audience. Other more recent work I have completed involves the code for a fully coupled Surfactant-Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system, which has passed several quantitative and qualitative test scenarios.

Some videos of the code I have written in its full glory will be uploaded to this youtube channel.

I am currently studying the numerical analysis of Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes system, in particular I am considering the coupling's numerical stability within the framework of a fractional theta splitting scheme for the Navier Stokes system. This allows decoupling of the incompressibility and convection of the Navier stokes, and I have created a coupled scheme for fixed and variable density flows that remains second order in time, i have shown stability results for fixed density and will repeat the analysis for variable density flows soon.
