About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Seminar for Statistics (SfS), ETH Zürich, advised by Prof. Yuansi Chen.

Previously, I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh, as a part of the MAC-MIGS CDT under Dr. Neil Chada, Prof. Ben Leimkuhler and Dr. Daniel Paulin.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Imperial College London, and my master's degree at the University of Oxford with Prof. Melanie Rupflin as my thesis supervisor. I was a visiting researcher at the National University of Singapore from January–March 2023 and at Inria and École des Ponts, Paris, September–October 2023.

Some Recent Research

Phase Transitions in Interacting Particle Systems
A simulation of collective behaviour in interacting particle systems from a recent paper with Ben Leimkuhler, Rene Lohmann and Greg Pavliotis. These dynamics exhibit a phase transition in the temperature parameter.
