I am a final year doctoral researcher at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, pursuing the DPhil in Mathematics. 

In September 2026, I will joining the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge to work on experimental and intelligent active matter with Dr Mazi Jalaal.

I am interested in modelling the dynamics of complex systems, with a particular focus on statistical physics, networks, machine learning and data science with applications to neuroscience and biology.

I am co-supervised by Professors Alain Goriely, Renaud Lambiotte & Morten Kringelbach. I am a member of the Oxford Mathematical Brain Modelling group, Oxford Centre for Industrial & Applied Mathematics, and the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing. I am a student at St Catherine's College. In the summer of 2025, I interned at IBM Research in Warrington. 

Prior to this, I completed the Master’s of Mathematics with study in Europe (MMath) at the University of Warwick where I graduated first class.
