Biography

I am a Professor in Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester. I am also the Group Research Lead for Applied Mathematics. I lecture undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Uncertainty Quantification and Applied Mathematics. My research falls under the themes of Uncertainty Quantification and Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, with an emphasis on approximation theory associated with finite element modelling, and efficient solvers. I am currently an associate editor for the SIAM/ASA journal on Uncertainty Quantification and the SIAM journal on Numerical Analysis
