I am interested in applications of low-dimensional topology and knot theory to biology.
In particular, my research area involves topics such as DNA topology and entanglement of biopolymers.
I passed my VIVA on 15/05/2020, and I received my Leave to Supplicate on 17/06/2020.
DPhil supervisors: Prof.
Heather Harrington, Prof.
Marc Lackenby and Prof.
