Welcome to my page!  

I am an MSCA Early Stage Researcher and PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at the University of Liverpool, UK. 

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interest is in the mathematical modelling of real-world problems. Currently, I am working on developing mathematical frameworks for stochastic and deterministic real-world processes such as ecological and eco-evolutionary systems on networks, epidemics, and vaccination—often supported by real and/or synthetic data . My skills include mathematical modelling,  qualitative analysis of differential equations-based models, generating synthetic data for Markovian processes, data analysis with a particular focus on estimating key parameters from it.

VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES

I grew up in an underdeveloped and educationally disadvantaged area. During my summer vacations from 2013 to 2020, I dedicated my time to teaching deserving students of all levels. Inspired by this passion for education, together with very passionate group of  friends, we establish the Maths Volunteers Foundation.
