About:
I am a graduate student at the department of Mathematics and the Institute of Applied Mathematics (IAM) of the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver. Prior to my coming to UBC, I was at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), South Africa, where I did M.Sc. in mathematical sciences. I am currently doing a PhD with Michael Ward , Colin Macdonald and Daniel Coombs, and my research focuses on mathematical modelling of biological systems.
