Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I am looking for two Phd students to start in September 2025. One in applied stochastic analysis, the other in mathematical ecology.
My personal webpage contains more information on the Phd projects I offer (scroll down to find a link to my webpage).

Personal profile

Research interests

I am an applied stochastic analysts,  interested in the analysis, simulation and modelling of random phenomena, described by Stochastic Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations. More specifically, I am interested in stochastic multiscale models and in the study of interacting particle systems. I am very keen on applications to mathematical biology and ecology, and very passionate about rewilding

This is my personal webpage  where you can find more information about my research activities and interests and on the positions open in my group. 

I am looking to hire a PDRA in the field of Stochastic Analysis. The deadline for applications is January 31st, 2025. Project description and link to apply are here

 

Key Research Words/Phrases

Stochastic analysis; analysis, numerical methods and simulation of Stochastic (Partial) Differential Equations; Interacting Particle systems; Partial Differential Equations; Mathematical Ecology; Rewilding; Multiscale Methods. 

Biography

I gained my PhD in mathematics at Imperial College London in July 2012. I then moved on to a postdoc in Warwick and then held a Chapman Fellowship at Imperial for a year. In October 2014 I moved to the Mathematics Department at Heriot Watt as an Assistant Professor, and I have been there since - as a full Professor since August 2024.   

My background is in analysis and stochastic analysis and in time my research interests have evolved towards applied mathematics, mathematical ecology in particular. 

I am an active member of the National and International mathematical community, through my editorial work, serving as a member of the European Mathematical Society and having been in many EPSRC panels. One of the parts of my job I enjoy the most is working with PhD students - and I have been incredibly lucky, having had the pleasure of supervising so many great students.
