About Me
I am an Applied Mathematician and Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, where I work on physics-based battery modelling for the Faraday Institution’s Multiscale Modelling project, and an Associate Lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London. My research focuses on computational modelling of complex systems, particularly bubble dynamics and electrochemical processes, using analytical and numerical methods.
Much of my work has explored the collapse of acoustic microbubbles near boundaries, with applications in biomedical and industrial settings. My PhD and subsequent research developed numerical methods to study these interactions, published in journals including Physics of Fluids, Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, and the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences.
I now apply similar mathematical approaches to continuum-scale battery modelling. My main focus is modelling the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI), specifically at the formation stage — you can read more in our paper in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society — and I contribute to the open-source PyBaMM project. Whether studying bubbles or batteries, I aim to bridge theory and real-world challenges through computational tools.
Beyond research, I love teaching mathematics and computing, mentoring students, and collaborating across disciplines. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), and I lead modules in optimisation and calculus at Birkbeck alongside my research. I firmly believe teaching deepens understanding — it keeps me curious, always learning, and eager to push boundaries.
Current Focus
- Leading the Formation and SEI working group (WP3) as Lead PDRA within the Faraday Institution’s Multiscale Modelling project, coordinating researchers across Warwick, Imperial, Southampton and Birmingham
- Upscaling the SEI model based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the macroscale (battery cell level) using asymptotic homogenisation theory, following our model developed with WIAS Berlin
- Teaching Linear and Nonlinear Optimisation (MSc) and Calculus 2 (BSc) at Birkbeck, University of London
