Research synopsis
My research lies in the formulation of mathematical and computational models to describe biological processes, particularly in the areas of embryonic development, cellular biology and cancer development. If you are interested in undertaking a PhD, pleasecontact me regarding current projects. For more information, see my research pages.Recent publications:
