Welcome. I am an applied mathematician based in Edinburgh, UK.

I am a Chancellor’s Fellow in Health and Life (~ Assistant Professor), based in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh.

I’m broadly interested in applying mathematical modelling to genomics, with a particular focus on cancer. Mathematically, I adopt a stochastic process centred approach, building mechanistic models in order to quantitatively explore hypotheses, and infer fundamental mutational and evolutionary parameters. These models are then used to analyse various genomic data. Biologically, I focus on somatic evolution, with a specific emphasis on how mutations arise and contribute to cancer development. Please get in touch if you’re interested in undertaking an applied mathematics PhD combining mathematical modelling, data science, and genomics.

A list of my papers can be found on this site or on my Google Scholar page.

I am an organiser of the Mathematical Biology seminars at the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh.
