I am a Professor in applied mathematics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne.

My research focuses on using mathematics and statistics to answer questions in biology and medicine. In particular, I develop mathematical models in areas such as wound healing, tumour growth and infectious disease epidemiology.

I was awarded a PhD in 2009 from Queensland University of Technology on “Mathematical modelling of chronic wound healing”. From 2010 – 2013, I was at the University of Oxford developing mathematical models for the spread of resistance to antimalarial drugs. From 2014 – April 2017 I was a Lecturer in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University. In 2016 I started an ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award to study and mathematically model venous leg ulcers. In May 2017 I joined the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne as a Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics. I was promoted to Associate Professor in 2020 and Professor in 2023. I am the recipient of the JH Michell Medal (2020) for excellence in research by ANZIAM (Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics), the Christopher Heyde Medal (2020) from the Australian Academy of Science and the Society for Mathematical Biology Leah Edelstein-Keshet Prize (2021). I currently serve as an Editorial Board member for PLOS Computational Biology, eLife, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology and SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics. In 2022, I started an ARC Future Fellowship to advance data integration modelling for infectious disease response.

My research is in mathematical biology. I am particularly interested in:

Modelling antimalarial drug resistance
Mathematical modelling of wound healing
Mathematical modelling of tumours

Please contact me if you are interested in doing a PhD or masters project in one of the above areas.

Additionally, I have the following project on offer at the masters level with Professor Antoinette Tordesillas:

MS Walkers

MS Walkers is an informal mentoring program for female staff and PhD students within the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne. The program was launched in Semester 1, 2018. The one-hour ‘walk and talk’ sessions take place local to the Parkville campus. We meet on Thursdays at 3pm during semester, at the southern entrance of the Peter Hall building (near Monash Road). A mentor joins us to discuss a topic relevant to the group.

For an archive of past walks and topics, see here.

Check out our YouTube message for International Women in Mathematics Day 2020 here.

The program is running online via Zoom in Semester 2, 2020. Email me to get the zoom link.
