I am a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) at SoftMech group within the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Glasgow, UK. My research interests lie primarily in mathematical formulation of spatially and temporally multiscale models arising from biology, medicine and industry. I subsequently solve the resulting problems using a blend of numerical (finite difference or finite element method) and analytical (asymptotic homogenization, discrete-to-continuum upscaling, boundary layer analysis) tools.

I completed my undergraduate and masters degrees in pure mathematics, the latter with specialization in mathematical analysis, at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia in 2011 and 2013 respectively. From 2013 to 2017, I worked on models of plant water and nutrient uptake and obtained a PhD in applied mathematics (2018) from the University of Nottingham, UK. Subsequently, I worked as PDRA at the University of Oxford (UK),  developing models of blood flows and red-blood-cell splitting in microvascular networks (2017-2018). I stayed at Oxford to work on optimizing the efficiency of filter media as dependent on the coupling between the fluid flow and the deformation of the filter (2018-2019). Since 2020, I have been working at SoftMech at the University of Glasgow (UK) on the biomechanics of crosslinked protein networks with applications to intracellular transport and keratoconus formation.
