About
I am a PhD student at the Warwick Mathematics for Real World Systems Centre for Doctoral Training. My research is in quantitative synthetic biology, supervised by Dr. Alexander Darlington and Prof. Declan Bates, in collaboration with the J. Jimenez Lab.
I am particularly interested in developing mathematical and data-driven tools for designing synthetic gene circuits which are robust and host-friendly.
