Biography

I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physiology at McGill University. I’m an applied mathematician using mathematics, computation and data to study diverse topics in the natural sciences. Much of my research involves interdisciplinary collaboration with medical doctors, physiologists and ecologists. I am particularly interested in tipping points and the development of computational tools to help us predict and understand them (my TEDx talk gives an overview). Please see my research and publication sections for more information.

I received my PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Waterloo where I worked with Chris Bauch and Madhur Anand. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mathematics from the University of Cambridge.
