Research interests
I am an applied mathematician. I use dynamical systems analyses, stochastic modelling and queueing theory, amongst other techniques to answer questions arising from fields other than mathematics. My research is in mathematical modelling, particularly in biomedicine and biology. The investigations in which I am currently involved range from understanding the dynamics of fundamental protein-protein interactions, cellular processes, the geometrical morphological features of microfossils, to the interactions in systems at larger scales involving human subjects. Projects include the modelling of cellular glucose transport in response to insulin and the deleterious effects insulin resistance and diabetes; the dynamics of electrically excitable cells such as peripheral nerves and the cardiac pacemaker; and starch grains within edible plants, allowing the identification of both contemporary grains and those found on ancient tools. Professional affiliations and service positions: Deputy Director, Research, ARC Centre of Excellence for the Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems. Head of the School of Mathematics & Statistics, 2021-2024. Past-President of the Australian Society for Biophysics. I am a former member of the UNSW Academic Board and serve on many School, Faculty and University committees.
