I am a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow in the Mathematics Department at Kyoto University, working with Prof. Kenta Ishimoto. I carried out my doctoral studies in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Prof. Eric Lauga FRS. 

As an applied mathematician working at the interface of fluid mechanics and biology, I use analytical and computational methods to understand biological phenomena in terms of the physical principles which often underlie them. I am broadly interested in biological questions inside and outside the cell, ranging from organelle-scale and intracellular fluid flows, to cell locomotion at the single-cell and population levels. Simple models which reveal intuitive physical insight bring me much joy.

Recent research includes a phase autoencoder, rooted in Koopman theory, applied to noisy, periodic sperm beats and locomotion; and elastohydrodynamic instabilities in undulating flagella, which may provide a physical mechanism for superhelical waveforms, or double waves, found in spermatozoa across distantly related taxa and diverse flagellar architectures.
