Career

  • 2022-date: Research Associate in the Fluid Dynamics of Decontamination, DAMTP
  • 2018-2022: PhD Student, DAMTP
  • 2014-2018: BA/MMath, Mathematics, Trinity College Cambridge

Research

George recently completed a PhD in the Biological Physics group of Professor Raymond Goldstein in DAMTP, studying collective motion, namely phenomena resulting from the interactions of many individuals. He is interested in investigating flows in absorbent media from a dual experimental and theortical perpective, particularly focussing on bacterial biofilms and hydrogel.

Academic Service

Referee for Physical Review E since 2021.

Teaching

Undergraduate supervisions for a range of mathematical methods courses in the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge (Variational Principles and Methods Michealmas 2018-2020 and Complex Methods Lent 2018-2020).
