Research Experience
Within-host Modelling of Immunisation, University of Warwick, Oct. 2020 - present
Applying mathematical modelling and parameter inference techniques to uncover the generation and reactivation of immune memory after immunisation.
Mathematical Modelling of HPV16 Infection Process, University of Warwick, June 2020 - Sept. 2020
Built a system of ordinary differential equations to model infection and immune interaction and predicted the infection outcome under varying initial conditions.
Predicting the Impact of Childhood Vaccines: Health & Economics, University of Warwick, Mar. 2020 - June 2020
(Mathsys Research Study Group Project)
Applied ODE models to evaluate the MMR vaccine intervention in the UK, linking health impacts with economic outcomes
The Three-Patch Model with Random Dispersal and Time Delay, East China Normal University, Mar. 2018 - May 2019
Created a three-patch model using delay differential equations. Proved global solution existence and uniqueness and analysed the stability of the steady state. The framework was further extended to n-patch models for distributed populations
