Academic Background

I hold a First Class with Honours Master of Mathematics (MMath) Degree from Aberystwyth University where I won six awards for academic performance and two awards for my volunteer roles that I held during my degree.

I also had the pleasure of being an ambassador for the university on open days as well as a being a demonstrator in my final year working on a helpdesk and in practicals for maths students.

I had the good fortune of being successful in a bursary application between my second and third year which enabled me to spend the summer researching `higher-rank graphs', I resumed work in this area during a research project in my final year.

Key Research Interests

My PhD Project is titled "Wave-Structure Interaction with Uncertainties" but my main research interests can be broadly categorised as the following:

Hydrodynamics and Wave Impact Models

Theory of Vibrations

Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity Analysis

Asymptotic Analysis and Numerical Analysis

A key theme in my applied work is the marriage of physical intuition with rigourous mathematics, this leads to another interest of mine: Spectral Theory.

I have other research interests in pure mathematics surrounding Multi-Dimensional Symbolic Dynamical Systems, in particular those arising from Higher-Rank Graphs.
