I am a Reader in Applied Mathematics at the University of Essex, where my research focuses on the physics of complex and disordered systems using a wide range of computational methods. My work is motivated by the goal of developing a deeper, unified understanding of complexity in physical systems and beyond.
My research primarily centres on phase transitions in disordered systems. I have developed advanced numerical and theoretical approaches across multiple scales, including Monte Carlo methods, optimisation techniques, renormalisation group methods, and supersymmetric approaches in condensed matter physics.
My recent work includes, among others, studies of disorder effects in first-order phase transitions, universality in dynamic critical phenomena, scaling descriptions of interfacial behaviour between coexisting phases, metastability in ferromagnetic systems, and the conditions for phase separation in hybrid soft-matter systems. I have been a member of the Institute of Physics Computational Physics Group Committee since 2017.
