Visiting Lecturer
I achieved my MMath in Mathematics from the University of Warwick (2016), which is a 4 year integrated taught Masters degree. My main areas at University were analysis, PDEs and statistics. I completed a research project on the application of PDEs to data classification, which is an area in data science. I used an algorithm called the Merriman-Bence-Osher scheme to classify three noisy semi circles. At Chester, I started in February 2023, working towards my PhD in Mathematics. I contributed towards a publication with Dimitra Antonopoulou and two other researches entitled ‘Local existence of the outer parabolic stochastic Stefan problem on the sphere’. I also contributed towards a paper with Yubin Yan which is awaiting publication. This is entitled ‘Galerkin finite element methods for stochastic semilinear subdiffusion driven by additive fractional Brownian motion’. I am working on a paper on Mittag-Leffler Euler integrator methods.
I started teaching first year support classes in Mathematical Analysis in 2015 at the University of Warwick. In 2016 I taught two first year supervision groups, covering all of the mandatory pure mathematics modules. Outside of academia, I have do private tutoring where I teach A-level students. In November 2024 I started lecturing at the University of Chester in probability and statistics as well as foundations of mathematics. This year I also taught the employability and computation module.
My main area of research is the numerical analysis of Fractional Stochastic PDEs, where I study the fractional Allen Cahn and Cahn Hilliard equations. I am also interested in applied PDEs, particularly the application of PDEs to data science.
