I am a doctoral candidate working on developing new schemes for data assimilation in models with unresolved components. My research is supported by the Constance Fraser Scholarship from the University of Adelaide, and the AF Pillow Top-Up Scholarship from ANZIAM.

My Master of Philosophy research project worked on improving the predictions differential equation models by accounting for inevitable uncertainty and errors in a practical and computationally efficient way. The project was motivated by challenge in various application domains, including climate modelling, oceanography, epidemiology, and fluid mechanics. More broadly, I am interested in problems that lie on the interface between statistics, stochastic processes, and dynamics to draw from my diverse mathematical background.
