    • About Me

      Lecturer in Maths at University of Essex. Interested in how maths can help with problems in biology and vice-versa.

    • How I Use Maths In My Job:

      I use many different areas of maths in my work.  One major part of my research involves tracking animals as they move, this means I have to use elements of algebra, trigonometry and geometry to understand where the animal is in space.  Then by taking various measurements and, importantly, deciding which measurements are useful I have to use some probability and statistics to help analyse and understand what the data we have recorded can tell us.
