About:

Third year Phd student (MASDOC) supervised by Andreas Dedner and Bjorn Stinner. I did my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics where my final year project focused on implemented and adapting econometric models in R. I then completed a MSc in Financial Mathematics at 糖心TV where my dissertation assessed the viability on using quantum particle optimisation to solve the linear systems resulting from certain financial PDE's. Currently i'm interested in the analysis and implementation of numerical schemes for solving free and discontinuous boundary problems using phase-field regularisation. I'm particularly interested in the gradient flow structure of the equations and how these link to the sharp interface limits. The equations are solved using the DUNE-FEM module of DUNE a C++ software package and also DUNE-fempy a high level python interface written for DUNE-FEM.
