Applied Mathematician and Computational Modeller | Mathematical Modelling and Simulation

Profile Summary

am an applied mathematician with over 15 years of experience in mathematical and computational modelling. My work spans biological systems, electrical and mechanical engineering, and physical sciences. I develop analytical and numerical models to study system behaviour, stability, and performance, and I validate results through simulation and data analysis. My experience includes nonlinear dynamics, numerical methods, parametric and sensitivity analysis, and scientific computing using tools such as Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, and COMSOL. I have worked on research and industry-facing projects involving modelling, simulation, and interpretation of complex systems. I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a strong applied mathematics focus, as well as an MSc and BSc in Mathematics. I have authored peer reviewed publications and have experience collaborating across disciplines to deliver rigorous and clearly communicated results.
