About me
Hi! I'm currently working as a postdoc at the University of Bath. I research the Boolean model (also known as the random blob model, and sometimes continuum percolation) and related models such as the random geometric graph. I previously worked with Mathew Penrose on boundary effects for the Boolean model, and am currently working with Matt Roberts on continuum percolation.
During my PhD I worked on random growth models in the complex plane with Amanda Turner at Lancaster University.
