Welcome to my website!

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia, supervised by Anotida Madzvamuse. Previously I obtained my PhD at the Maxwell Institute Graduate School (MAC-MIGS) in Edinburgh. Here, I worked on the coupling between chemical and mechanical signalling in cells using reaction-diffusion equations and the equations of linear elasticity under the supervision of Mariya Ptashnyk and Chandrasekhar Venkataraman.
