Biography
2018 -- Master of Mathematics, St Hilda's College, University of Oxford
2023 -- PhD in Engineering Mathematics, University of Bristol
Projects:
The Golf Ball Project, 2018-2023
Project supervisors: Prof. Alan Champneys, Dr Robert Szalai.
This work (being the main subject of my PhD thesis) is focused on mathematical modelling of the golf ball bounce and examining the ball and turf interactions.
The work was funded by R&A Rules Ltd and an EPSRC grant.
A semi-stochastic modelling framework for passive acoustic telemetry, 2023
Collaborators: Dr Edward Lavender, EAWAG, CH
Emergence of chaos from structural perturbations of dynamical systems admitting homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits, 2018
Project supervisors: Dr Robert A. Van Gorder, James Kwiecinski.
Research interests
My research interests lie within the area of Applied Mathematics with focus on mathematical modelling, nonsmooth dynamical systems, chaos theory and numerical methods.
In my PhD project I am focusing on impact and friction problems by studying the models of a golf ball bounce. I extend current work by studying some purely theoretical results and their agreement with experimental data.
