Research Area
My interests lie in the broad areas of:
* Mathematical modelling
* Tissue engineering
* Fluid mechanics
* Free boundary problems
My research is concerned with developing idealised mathematical models of biological phenomena. These models allow us to gain more insight into the physical mechanisms underlying the behaviour of the biological system, and make predictions which can be compared with experiments. For my PhD, I developed and studied models of cell aggregation in liver tissue engineering under the supervision of Professor Helen Byrne and Dr Sarah Waters. We looked particularly at the effect of cell-substrate adhesion on the aggregation process, and how the type and strength of interactions between cell populations affects the distribution of cells within the aggregates. Subsequently, I worked with Professor Frank Smith at University College London on the problem of modelling fluid flow in bifurcating channels with flexible walls, which has applications to blood flow through arterio-venous malformations in the brain.
