Background
I am a teaching assistant and lecturer in the School of Computing at Newcastle University.
Research
My research background is in computational modelling in biology, in particular, agent-based modelling using tools such as BioDynaMo and NUFEB.
My current research topic is on 3D computational modelling of epidermal homeostasis and psoriasis development. The model explores how the epidermis forms and how immune cytokine stimuli causes psoriasis to develop and changes the epidermal structure.
