Summary

I am a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at the University of Hull, with a research and teaching role.

My research is at the interface of Inverse Problems, Optimization and PDEs. I have also experience in Optimal Transport, Calculus of Variations, Measure Theory and Numerical analysis in infinite-dimensional spaces. I am interested in applications to Materials Science, Mathematical Imaging, and Machine Learning.

I have taught a diverse range of courses in the areas of Analysis, Geometry, Probability, Statistics and Numerical Analysis, at both the Undergraduate and Master levels.

If you are interested in collaboration or supervision opportunities, please contact me at
