Personal Statement
I am a Teaching Associate in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, involved in teaching various areas of applied mathematics and mathematical statistics.
I am particularly interested in mathematical modelling, and have recently been running the mathematical modelling class for first year mathematics students. I also have significant involvement in teaching mathematics for students in other disciplines, and am currently the Service Teaching Coordinator for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, as well as the lead for mathematics on Graduate Apprenticeship (GA) degrees in Engineering.
My interests include marine ecology and population modelling, mathematical finance and time series analysis, game theory, regression analysis. I have supervised a range of honours and masters projects in these topics and other areas of mathematical statistics.
