I am a Florence Nightingale Bicentenary Fellow in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford.
My research lies at the intersection of probability theory, stochastic analysis, mathematical biology, and partial differential equations (PDEs). I am particularly interested in interacting particle systems arising from models in population genetics, their scaling limits, and how the behaviour of these limits can be understood from a biological perspective.
Before joining Oxford, I completed my PhD at the University of Bath, under the supervision of Sarah Penington and Marcel Ortgiese. I was awarded the Edward Fraenkel Prize for the best PhD Thesis in the Department of Mathematical Sciences for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Interests:
Interacting particle systems and their scaling limits
Population genetics
