I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Global Ecology Labatory which sits within the Ecology, Evolution and Environment Research Section of the College and Science Engineering. My research broadly focuses on developing mechanistic models of biological and evolutionary processes. To do this, I work closely with an interdisciplinary group of experts from areas including biology, philosophy, anthropology and ecology. In the past, I developed a series of mathematical models that explore the evolution of multicellularity from unicellular ancestors and of uniquely human behaviour from our closest primate relatives. At the Global Ecology Lab, I’m working to develop a mathematical model to investigate the impact and spread of disease brought to Australia through external contact. To address these problems, I apply ordinary differential equations and agent-based models.
Mathematical Biology: modelling of evolutionary transitions in individuality, the emergence of multicellularity and human evolution using agent-based models and ordinary differential equations.
Mechanistic Modelling: constructing models of populations that capture the internal mechanisms and interactions leading to collective behaviour and observed phenomena.
Eco-Epidemiology: modelling the spatial spread of infectious disease and its impact on populations.
