About me
I am a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. My research interests include large scale numerical linear algebra (theory and applications), data assimilation, and treatment of covariance matrices. Alongside my research I’m interested in outreach and scientific crafting.
Work and education history
2019 - Present: PDRA in the School of Mathematics at The University of Edinburgh working with Dr John Pearson
