About Me

I am a PhD student on the Maths CDT with a particular interest in opinion dynamics and ODE/PDE constrained optimisation.

I am vice president of the 果冻传媒 SIAM-IMA chapter.

I am chair of the here at 果冻传媒 - supporting equal opportunities for women and people of underrepresented genders in maths.

Education

2024 - Present: PhD in Mathematics, 果冻传媒

I am a second year PhD student on the Maths CDT, supervised by Dr Susana Gomes and Prof Marie-Therese Wolfram. My interests are opinion dynamics, optimal control and dynamical systems.

2023 - 2024: MSc in Computational Applied Mathematics, University of Edinburgh

My MSc dissertation was titled Stochastic biochemical models: Applications to Bayesian inference and simulation of SDEs in bounded domains and supervised by .

2020 - 2023: BA in Mathematics, University of Cambridge

During my second year of undergraduate studies, I completed a research project with , titled Sedimentation of plankton in strong flow.
