I am a PhD candidate in mathematics, working under the supervision of Eric Cytrynbaum and Colin Macdonald. My research is in applied mathematics; mathematical biology. I am broadly interested in applying computational and mathematical tools in the modelling of biological systems. My current work involves mechanistic models of the plant cell cytoskeleton: the organization of plant cortical microtubules. Click here for an intro to plant cortical mictrotubules (CMTs). This project involves a fun combination of differential equations, geometry, stochastic processes, and scientific computing.

Before this, I completed:

• M.Sc. in mathematics, The University of British Columbia (2020-2022)
• B.Sc. in mathematics and physics, University of Toronto (2016-2020)
  • Mathematics and Physics Specialist

Outside of research, I am on a lifelong quest to find a fruiting pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba) – let me know if you have any leads! I am a big fan of plants in general (not just in theory). It’s more of a coincidence that my research involves plants. Fungi are also cool; I’m similarly on the lookout for chanterelles.
