About me

I am highly curious and ambitious, very motivated and passionate, with substantial experience in research, tutoring, and organisation. At the moment, I am developing my skills in Evolutionary Game Theory via PhD study at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Dr Hong Duong.

I am an alumna of the University of Birmingham (BSc Mathematics with Business Management) and the University of St Andrews (MSc Mathematics), currently researching cost-effective institutional incentives for promoting cooperation as part of my PhD. I am a game theorist with a particular interest in Evolutionary Game Theory (more precisely, using EGT to model cooperative behaviours), the Mathematics of morality, and the evolution of language. 

In my free time, I love reading both fiction and non-fiction and, of course, the occasional Maths book, as well as developing my general knowledge. I also enjoy Ballroom and Latin dancing, being a beginner/novice in both categories.
