My research focus is in mathematical modelling, numerical analysis and scientific computation. The problems are drawn from a wide range of sources with biological, medical, engineering, industrial and environmental context. Part of the modelling exercise involves the description of the problem using partial differential equations, reduction of the governing equations using dimensional analysis, perturbation methods, similarity or travelling wave analysis and developing efficient, convergent and reliable numerical schemes using either standard or non-standard finite difference schemes.
