I graduated with an MChem degree in Chemistry from the University of Oxford in 2015 before completing an MSc in Global Health Policy at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Currently I am a PhD student in Biology at Pennsylvania State University, in Matt Ferrari's lab, where I use traditional epidemiological methods and models to describe respiratory disease dynamics. I am most interested in the application of mathematical models in the control of outbreaks. I am particularly interested in the use of Bayesian and network methods in forecasting models.
