Rebecca Crossley DPhil (PhD) student in Mathematical Biology College Lecturer in Applied Mathematics University of Oxford
I am a final year PhD student in the Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology at the University of Oxford, working under the supervision of ProfessorsRuth BakerandPhilip Maini. I completed my undergraduate course in Mathematics at the University of Bristol, where I also worked as a research assistant in the CHAMPS research group under the supervision of Makrina Agaoglou,Matthaios Katsanikasand Stephen Wiggins.
My research is intentionally interdisciplinary, primarily working at the interface of applied mathematics and biology. My PhD looks at mathematical models of collective cell migration, with a particular focus on the impact of heterogeneity in the cell population and their environment. Just some of the approaches I have used involve individual based modelling, continuum partial differential equation models, travelling waves and inference.
