Mathematical Biology

Research applying dynamical systems, network theory, and machine learning to biological systems — including neural networks and animal movement ecology.

Biological Neural Networks

In collaboration with Wageningen University and Research, I work on modelling and explainability of biological neural networks. This includes developing mathematical frameworks for understanding how neural circuits process information and generate behaviour.

Animal Movement & Track Analysis

Animal trajectories encode rich information about behaviour, habitat use, and ecological interactions. I am developing tools for the analysis of animal tracks, applying methods from dynamical systems and statistics to extract meaningful patterns from movement data.
