Research Interests and Experience

My research interests are in the mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of mechanical phenomena in cellular biology, relevant to processes such as cell motility, division, and intracellular transport. As a member of Professor Alex Mogilner's research group, I have been focused on intracellular fluid mechanics problems relating to cytoplasmic flow, often collaborating with experimental laboratories.
