About

Mathematics with personality

I work at the intersection of mathematics, medicine, and computation. My research explores how mathematical models can help improve cancer treatments by predicting how tumours respond to therapies. I am particularly interested in how mathematical insight can support clinical decision-making and contribute to more personalised treatment strategies.

You can also include collaborations, teaching interests, outreach, coding, side projects, or a line about what makes your approach distinctive.
