Background
A computational scientist working in the plasma simulation group. Interested in all sorts of mathematical modelling problems, including numerical integration for ODEs/PDEs, MHD equilibrium modelling, surrogate modelling (e.g., Gaussian processes), Bayesian methods (e.g., data assimilation, optimisation, UQ), parallel-in-time (PinT) methods, high performance computing, and multiscale/hybrid modelling problems.
