Chancellor's Fellow in Mathematical Modelling
I am a Chancellor's Fellow in Mathematical Modelling at the University of Strathclyde. My work focuses on using mathematical modelling to answer questions involving the interaction of fluid flows and solid structures at the microscale.

Previously, I was the Clifford Fellow in Applied Mathematics at UCL, working on projects involving chemically propelled filaments, material replacement in biological tissues, and the swelling of salty polymers. Before that, I was a research fellow at the University of Birmingham and University of Warwick on "Shape Transforming Active Microfluidics" with Tom Montenegro-Johnson. My PhD at the University of Oxford, "Sticking with droplets: Mathematical modelling of capillary adhesion", was supervised by Dominic Vella.

I have been awarded the APS's François Frenkiel Award for Fluid Mechanics and the IMA's Lighthill-Thwaites Prize for my research.

Teaching and supervision
Teaching and supervision
In 2024-25, I lectured MATH0078 Asymptotic Approximation Methods at UCL. I also have previously guest lectured on the course Frontiers in Mathematical Modelling, and taught example classes in Methods, Waves and PDEs.
I have had success with a number of undergraduate summer project students, and I'm always happy to supervise more. If you are interested then please get in touch!
