I am a fourth year DPhil student in soft condensed matter in the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics. I work with Prof Julia Yeomans, and my research focuses on modelling collective behaviour in biological systems using active nematics, hybrid Lattice Boltzmann simulations and finite difference and finite element methods.

I am interested in understanding the importance of mechanical forces and flows that underlie patterning, cell sorting and morphogenesis in living systems.
