Mathematics can be used to model just about anything. Understanding how things work enables us to fix problems and even "predict" the future. Meteorology, physical oceanography, aerodynamics, wound healing and physiological models of the heart, lungs, tumours and others can all be better understood with mathematical models. The great challenges of our time are Climate Change and COVID. Without Mathematical models, we would have no way to tackle or understand these. My interests are in using the powerful tools available in mathematics and statistics to help make the world a little better.
