I am a Zeeman Lecturer (equivalent to a fixed-term Assistant Professor position) at the Warwick Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral research fellow (2024-2026) in the group of Professor Tom Montenegro-Johnson on the Leverhulme-funded project Shape Transforming Active Matter. Before that, I was a PhD student in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Professor Grae Worster. My PhD thesis, entitled Dynamics of super-absorbent hydrogels, is available here.
I’m an applied mathematician working at the interface between fluid mechanics and soft matter, specifically studying poroelasticity (the behaviour of porous, deformable media). I have a particular interest in hydrogels, soft elastic solids formed of a polymer matrix surrounded by water molecules, and their swelling and drying behaviour. The publications below or my CV show more details on what I’ve been working on, but don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
