I am a Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at the University of Melbourne, and lead an interdisciplinary research group at the interface of Mathematics, Biophysics and Microbial Ecology. I completed my BSc (Hons) at the University of Melbourne, before undertaking a PhD at the University of Cambridge. During this time, I was a Gates Cambridge Scholar and External Research Scholar at Trinity College. Following this, I was awarded a Cross-Disciplinary Fellowship through the Human Frontier Science Program, a

Microbes drive large-scale processes in human health, industrial applications, and the environment, and have traditionally been sampled and studied at these larger scales. However, the collective behaviour of microbes emerges from their microscopic behaviour and fine-scale interactions with one another and their environment. Our research group uses mathematical modelling and quantitative video-microscopy to study a range of dynamic processes in biology – crucially at the scale of individual cells – with spe
