Profile

In my free time you can find me biking down muddy hills, at the ice rink or playing viola and piano with more enthusiasm than skill. This year I’ve also taken up taekwondo as a new sport.

I’m also a big Terry Pratchett fan

At school I was really interested in maths, with some history on the side. I therefore did my undergraduate in mathematics at Oxford, which I really enjoyed. I was particularly interested in modelling real world behaviour, and undertook projects modelling phenomena from lithium-ion batteries to genetic evolution.

I am now in my first year of a PhD which combines mathematics, biology, stats and computer science to investigate biological systems. It’s fascinating learning subjects I haven’t really studied before and seeing how they interlink.
