Who I am

I am a first year PRS Dphil student in the Centre for Mathematical Biology, within the Mathematics Institute. I am working under the supervision of Prof. Philip Maini. Previously, I studied at the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Dr. Leah Edelstein-Keshet. I completed my undergraduate degree at Stanford University and am from Chicago, Illinois, USA.

 

Research Interests

My interests include mathematical models of disease, addressing topics in immunology, cancer biology, autoimmunity, and drug delivery.  This year I will be focusing my research on tumor biology, specifically models of angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. My previous research has been in mathematical biology (mathematical models of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and
Type I Diabetes) as well as marine biology.
