Bio

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory, Fluids and Heath Network, at MIT, working with Prof. Lydia Bourouiba.

Prior to this appointment, I obtained my PhD (2020) in Aeronautics at Caltech by investigations of magnetohydrodynamics, advised by Prof. Dale Pullin, and my MSc (2016) and BSc (2014) in Applied Mathematics at The University of Melbourne, supervised by Prof. John Sader.

I have a broad research interest in fluid dynamics, plasma physics and mathematical biology. Particularly at MIT, I am studying a range of infectious pathogen transport mechanisms that are facilitated by multiphase flows and unsteady interfacial flow instabilities.
