Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I am an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Adelaide, and a member of the Dynamics, Modelling and Computation (DMC) Group. My research interests are in mathematical biology and continuum mechanics (particularly fluid mechanics). Much of my work focuses on developing and analysing mathematical models to understand aspects of how tissues develop.
