Interests

I use computational modelling and simulation to understand the electrophysiology of the heart and peripheral nervous system. In particular, I am interested in integrating the inter-individual and inter-cellular variability present in experimental data into computational models to understand why individual responses to the same drug or disease can vary tremendously.

Biography

I did my undergrauate degree in Physics, before joining the Systems Biology DTC to switch fields for my DPhil. I did my DPhil as part of the Computational Cardiovascular Science group, supervised by Prof. Blanca Rodriguez and Dr. Alfonso Bueno-Orovio. I'm now working on applying the methodology I developed during my DPhil to studying human sensory neuron electrophysiology for pain research, funded through the NC3Rs 3Rs Prize Award and an EPSRC Doctoral Prize.
