About Me

I'm a PhD student at the Mathematical Sciences Institute at The Australian National University, under the supervision of Dr Timothy Trudgian. I studied for my Masters of Mathematics at the University of York under the supervision of Dr Christopher Hughes on the topic of modern sieve theory and gaps between primes.

Outside of mathematics I write a cappella arrangements of popular music; engage in musical theatre performances; and enjoy board games.

Research Interests

I am interested in analytic number theory - particularly sieve theory; the twin prime problem; and approximations to Goldbach's conjecture - and algebraic & probabilistic methods.

Teaching

2015 - Introduction to Modern Maths (Lecturer)
2015 - MATH1115 Mathematics and Applications I (Honours) (Tutor)
