DPhil student
About Me
I am a first-year PhD student in Probability at the University of Oxford, supervised by Professor Julien Berestycki. My current research focuses on branching Brownian motion, and my doctoral studies are supported by the Clarendon Fund Scholarship. Before starting my PhD, I completed a BSc in Mathematics at Beijing Normal University, where I wrote my undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Professor Xinxin Chen.
Research Interests
- Probability, particularly tree-like structures
- Mathematical Physics

DPhil in Statistics student
About Me
I am a first year PhD student in the probability group supervised by Alison Etheridge and Maria Bruna. My current research focuses on characterising phase transitions of interacting particle systems using tools from information geometry.
The particle systems I work with arise from mathematical models of population genetics and active matter.
I completed my undergraduate studies in mathematics and economics at École Polytechnique. After that, I did Part III of the mathematical tripos at Cambridge and the second year of the Probability and Random models masters in Paris (Sorbonne / ENS). My undergraduate thesis was on topological data analysis, and my master's thesis was on information quantities of interacting particle systems. I also wrote a Part III essay on critical exponents for planar percolation.
My work is supported by the Clarendon Scholarship and the Keble Sloane Robinson Scholarship.
Teaching:
- Probability on graphs and lattices (MT25): TA
- Applied probability (HT26): TA & Tutor
Research Interests
- Probabilistic modeling in population genetics
- Active matter
- Information theory
- Interacting particle systems and their scaling limits
Besides the projects that I am working on for my PhD, I have a long-standing interest in econometrics and probabilistic methods in machine learning.

AI for the Environment CDT Student
About Me
I am a second-year DPhil student in the CDT in AI for the Environment, working on mathematical models for disease surveillance and pandemic preparedness. My research focuses on early epidemic dynamics, network epidemiology, and surveillance strategies for pathogen detection. I am also interested in how climate change affects the spread of vector-borne diseases, with the goal of improving intervention strategies under changing environmental conditions.
After completing my BSc in Mathematics at Warwick University (2023), I earned my MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing from Oxford (2024), where my dissertation explored methods for understanding uncertainty and inference in network epidemic models.
Research Interests
- Disease surveillance and early warning systems
- Network epidemiology and metapopulation dynamics
- Climate-sensitive vector-borne disease dynamics
- Parameter inference and uncertainty quantification
