I am a 4th year PhD student in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne. My supervisor is Volker Schlue.

I am interested in mathematical general relativity and in partial differential equations more broadly. My research focuses on global properties of solutions to wave equations in general relativity, looking specifically at scattering problems, nonlinear stability problems, and long-time asymptotics. I am also interested in nonlinear wave equations that exhibit finite-time blowup.
