I am currently working on the development of a computational framework to model the spread of bovine tuberculosis and foot-and-mouth diseases in British livestock at the Comparative Epidemiology Informatics group within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Glasgow. In addition to epidemiology modelling, my main research areas are bioinformatics (where I am involved in the integration, visualisation and analysis of different functional genomics data sets) and systems biology (where I am involved in the computational modelling of signal transduction pathways using ordinary differential equations and the development of associated computational tools and database systems for their simulation and analysis).
