I am an applied mathematician with a background in the analysis of dynamical systems characterised by multiple time-scales and abrupt transitions. The use of geometric methods is a common theme in my research.
I have expertise in the analysis of ordinary differential equations and non-smooth systems, but a broader interest in the dynamics of maps, partial differential equations and non-autonomous systems. More recently I have been working on rigorous geometric approaches to model reduction in complex dynamical systems with applications in systems biology.
I am employed on a continuing basis as a Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, Australia, within the Dynamics, Modelling and Computation Group in the School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences.
I did my undergraduate, honours and PhD degrees at the University of Sydney, Australia. My PhD was supervised by Prof. Martin Wechselberger and A. Prof. Kristian Uldall Kristiansen (Technical University of Denmark). I also worked briefly as a research assistant at the University of Sydney after completing my PhD in August 2020.
Between February 2021 and March 2024 I worked as a postdoctoral researcher on the SFB/TRR 109 Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics grant project B10. I worked under the supervision of Prof. Christian Kühn , within the Multiscale and Stochastic Dynamics group at the Technical University of Munich, Germany.
Between April 2024 and December 2024 I worked as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Vienna University of Technology in Austria. I worked on Model Reduction for Complex Systems with Exponential Nonlinearity via Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory. My position was hosted by Prof. Peter Szmolyan, and the project also involved collaboration with A. Prof. Kristian Uldall Kristiansen at the Technical University of Denmark.
