Mathematical modeling and scientific computing
for brain and neurodegenerative disease research


Biography and research overview

A brief summary of my background, research interests and publication list.

Mathematical models of neurodegenerative disease

What mechanisms drive neurodegenerative diseases? My research is using mathematical models, analysis, patient data, inference, machine learning and scientific computing to investigate this important question.

Numerical methods for human brain and soft tissue pathology

Pathology in soft tissues, such as the brain and bowel, pose significant health risks that must be investigated. What numerical methods are effective for solving mathematical models of soft-tissue pathology and how can complex organ-scale geometries be realized?
