I am currently postdoctoral research associate at the Maxwell Institute (Heriot-Watt university and the University of Edinburgh) in Edinburgh, working mostly on questions in theoretical ecology, epidemiology, and evolution. My research interests lie in the mathematical modelling of epidemiological and ecological systems, to help better understand the relevant systems and hopefully have an impact on the real world. Other academic interests include data analysis and the use of programming languages. I also have a strong passion for teaching, always looking for new ways to pass knowledge onto others, and an interest in industrial-based problems.
