Biography

My PhD on the topic was critical times of heat and mass transport through multiple layers. From the week after I submitted my PhD until late 2011 I was employed as a Research Fellow in infectious disease modelling, at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, ANU. I received a Lift-off Fellowship from the Australian Mathematics Society to attend a 2 week masters level course at the University of Utrecht on the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases. December 2011 I started a 4 year University of Newcastle Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.

Research expertise

I am an applied mathematician with particular expertise in modelling and industrial applications. I have wide ranging interests from diffusion and heat transfer to infectious disease modelling.

My reserach interests inlude:

• Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases
• Tuberculosis spread including the effects of HIV and multi-drug resistance
• The effect of increasing diabetes prevalence on TB
• Dengue fever: impacts of vector control, climate change effects on the spread, transmission through blood transfusion
• Spatially dependent disease spread models
• Critical times of heat and mass transfer

Collaboration

I have strong research links with the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health at ANU.
