Research interests
I am a temporary lecturer based here within the Mathematics department also working within the York Centre for Complex Systems Analysis. I have been working on mathematical models for viral capsid structure and assembly. My supervisor is Reidun Twarock and I have also collaborated with Anne Taormina, Cristian Micheletti and Adam Zlotnick among others. Please see my publications list for some examples of my work.
