Area of Work

I am a mathematician. Most of my work at BioSS is related to some kind of mathematical modelling. I have worked on a wide variety of different projects :-

• Stochastic agent-based modelling of the transmission of the contagious lung cancer Ovine Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma (OPA, also known as Jaagsiekte) within a typical Scottish sheep flock.
• Modelling the spread of invasive alien plant species in the U.K. as part of the EU-funded ALARM project.
• Using resource competition models to help understand the relationship between diversity and stability in plant communities.
• Assessing collision risk for birds flying through an offshore windfarm.

I also provide statistical support for scientists at The James Hutton Institute, the Moredun Research Institute and the Scottish Agricultural College.
