Current Research

I am an interdisciplinary Computer Scientist working at the interface of Computer Science and the biological sciences. My research focusses on developing computational modelling and machine learning approaches to address hard, real-world biological problems. My interdisciplinary research reflects my deep interest in understanding how the biological and digital worlds work and interact. I am a member of the Intelligent Modelling and Analysis Group, and lead the Modelling Group in the Synthetic Biology Research Centre. Research expertise
