Research interests

My research interests lie in the development and analysis of mathematical models of physical and biological systems. Recently I have become particularly interested in electrochemistry and semiconductor physics. These fields not only have mathematical similarities but also have a wide range of applications ranging from solar cell and battery design to the propagation of electrical signals in the heart and nervous system. My other current research interests include population ecology, the lymphatic system and the elastic behaviour of biological membranes.

I would be keen to hear from any student who might be considering a PhD. in any of the areas mentioned above.

The Role of Arterial Pulsations in Perivascular Drainage and its Implications for Alzheimer's Disease

Perivascular drainage is an important process for the elimination of metabolic solutes from the brain. The failure of this process has important medical implications and the subsequent accumulation of the protein Aβ leads to the development of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This project aims at resolving the driving forces for perivascular drainage via modelling techniques in order to inspire novel medication that might help reduce the impact of AD.
