Overview
I am a PhD student at Cardiff University with the OneZoo CDT program. My research focuses on developing deterministic and stochastic mathematical models to explore the transmission of viruses in indoor spaces. These models are intended to assist policymakers and indoor space managers in making informed decisions during epidemics. My Master's thesis delved into characterising reproductive value in age-structured population models, which was applied to understand disease dynamics under varying environmental conditions. Prior to my Master's program, I worked as a data science professional in industry for 6 years.
