Biography

I am a mathematical modeller focussing on Agent-Based Modelling approaches to represent real-world complex systems. I am currently applying these models to endemic disease spread in the Scottish cattle trading system, and researching the effectiveness of novel disease control measures and their impacts at systems- and individual-level. More generally, I am interested in modelling the dynamics of behavioural adaptation of individuals in response to the introduction of well-intentioned interventions. Details can be found on my web page.
