With my interdisciplinary educational background, I am very interested in mathematical research that bridges connections between different fields, particularly where mathematics can be applied to problems in health and society.

Mathematical Modelling of Measles Outbreaks Incorporating Vaccine Hesitancy
In this thesis, we develop an SVEIR compartmental model for measles with a corresponding deterministic system of ordinary differential equations. The model incorporates a two-dose vaccination structure and two susceptible compartments to reflect varying immunity levels and account for vaccine hesitancy. The model is used to simulate two measles outbreaks, one in 2014 in British Columbia, Canada, and a second outbreak that began in 2024 across multiple regions of southern Ontario, Canada.
