Thanks for visiting!
I am a 4th year doctoral candidate in the Statistics and Applied Probability Department at the University of California Santa Barbara. I am a member of the Simulation and Control in Finance and Insurance (SCiFI) Research Group lead by my lead supervisor Prof. Michael Ludkovski.
My research interests lie in the interface of Financial Mathematics, Stochastic Control, Game Theory, Machine Learning and Groundwater Management. For my thesis project I investigating the use of stochastic games in modelling groundwater markets in Calfornia.
If you would like to reach out to discuss any of my written work or my research topics please send me a note using the contact page.
About me
I am passionate about learning and teaching topics in mathematics, statistics, finance and data science. I am a staunch advocate for open collaboration in academia. I enjoy writing blog posts about topics I find interesting and am committed to sharing my project work and course material.
In addition to the posts on my website I will also be posting the same content to my profile on Medium, as well as (hopefully) publishing content on YouTube aiming to provide advice and helpful content for students in STEM.
Education Timeline
In 2013 I commenced my undergraduate study at Lancaster University studying Theoretical Physics with Mathematics.
Between 2014 and 2016 I changed course twice, first to Mechanical Engineering and then to Mathematics with Statistics.
I was excluded from university due to poor academic performance but was allowed to return due to mitigating circumstances.
I graduated in 2018 with a First Class (Honors) BSc in Mathematics with Statistics.
During the COVID19 pandemic in 2020 I returned to Lancaster to obtain my MSc in Quantitative Finance, graduating in 2021 summa cum laude with distinction.
In 2022 I began working towards my doctorate in Statistics and Applied Probability at UC Santa Barbara in California.
- In 2025 I advanced to candidacy under the supervision of my committee of Prof. Mike Ludkovski, Prof. Jean-Pierre Fouque and Prof. Ruimeng Hu.
