Mathematical biologist in systems biology and fluid dynamics, and all-around fan of dynamical systems. Postdoctoral Researcher at Imperial College London.




My first paper in systems biology has been published in PRE! We investigate how local nearby bifurcations lead to synergies in critical slowing down- specifically the case of mushroom bifurcations in gene regulatory networks! journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…


🍄 More mushroom magic ! This time we show that nearby bifurcations lead to synergistically slower dynamics that are robust to noise and can be used to encode genetic timers ⏳🧬. Thanks to @JosepSardanyes @MathSMaret @FuchoMariona and the rest of the team biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢 Save the date for the next London Mathematical Biology Conference, happening 9-10/9/24 @TheCrick. Registration opens soon with many opportunities for contributed talks and abstracts. Spread the word!


Well done Rebecca @RebeccaNPoon on the publication of your first-author paper! In doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… we study how tiny baby corals (well coral larvae to be precise) self propel using #cilia, and deduce the nature of ciliary coordination on the surface of the #coral

I’m delighted to share our work @alanbrownhms on the structures of axoneme, one of the largest macromolecular machine in nature! This is really a dream coming true! Now we have an atomic view of the core of cilia skeleton. nature.com/articles/s4158…
