I have a background in non-equilibrium statistical physics and aim to use the ideas and techniques of stochastic theory to answer fundamental questions in ecology and evolution. I am based at the University of York, where I took up a position as a Lecturer in Mathematical Biology in 2019.

​

Prior to this (2017-2019), I was working under a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship in the Mathematical Sciences department at the University of Bath. The research I began there on the role of stochasticity in large complex ecosystems is being continued in York.

​

During 2016-2017 I was a member of Hanna Kokko's lab at the University of Zurich. Together, we are continuing to develop models of gamete evolution.

​

From 2014-2016 I worked with Corina Tarnita in the EEB at Princeton University, investigating biological systems with public goods dynamics from both a theoretical and an experimentally motivated perspective.

​

My Ph.D (2011-2014) was conducted with Alan McKane at the University Manchester. My thesis was primarily concerned with the derivation of effective theories for microscopically defined individual based models with a view to applications in biology and ecology.
