Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Associate interested in developing tools to help us understand how things spread on networks. The applications include the spread of infectious diseases, the spread of behavior in social networks, among many other applications.

Before joining UVM, I was a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA from July 2023 to June 2025, working with Prof. Mason Porter. Before that, I was a PhD student at the University of Limerick, Ireland in the Research Ireland Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science.

Research interests

Network analysis for biology applications, mathematical modeling, disease dynamics, and probability generating functions.

Education

Outside of Academia

I love all kinds of outdoor activities. I grew up in Ireland playing camogie and riding horses. More recently, you will probably find me out for a run, in the gym, or at a coffee shop if I'm not at the Institute!
