I am currently a PhD candidate at the Institute of Applied Mathematics at the University of British Columbia specialising in mathematical biology. I expect to complete my PhD by the summer of 2025.Briefly, my work involves the application of stochastic processes to the physical dynamics of individual influenza A virions. Influenza A possesses two proteins known as HA and NA which allow it to move in a unique rolling motion. This work largely involves simulating these virions in a Julia/Jupyer environment through the use stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in order to understand how influenza uses its unique dynamical properties to navigate hostile immunological environments.
