Biography

I am an Assistant Professor and National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellow in Applied Mathematics at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. I also hold a Bye-Fellowship at Fitzwilliam College in the University of Cambridge. Previously, I was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow & Principal Investigator at NTU from 2022 to March 2024, and an Early Career Research Fellow at Fitzwilliam College in the University of Cambridge from 2018 to 2022.  I studied mathematics as an undergraduate at the University of Oxford before doing graduate work in mathematics, physics, and engineering, earning a PhD in Information Engineering from the University of Cambridge in 2018 under the supervision of Professor Rodolphe Sepulchre. A common theme of my research is the application of geometry to problems arising in statistics, optimization, materials science, and robotics.
