I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU), working with Dr Claire Chewapreecha and Dr Emma Davenport at the Wellcome Sanger Institute to find the transcriptomic and genetic basis for the host-pathogen interaction of melioidosis which determines severe disease. Melioidosis is a neglected tropical disease, endemic to areas such as Northeastern Thailand and Northern Australia.

My further research interests include risk modelling and disease surveillance, including genomic surveillance, and how this fits in with public health, policy, and media. I’m also interested in best practices in developing software for biomedical research. My geek interests includes Linux and GNU Emacs. Doom Emacs is responsible for a lot of my life, including writing my thesis and this website.

Previously, my PhD at the University of Edinburgh was jointly supervised by Dr Diego Oyarzún and Prof Peter Swain. My project examined the metabolic oscillations in budding yeast using single-cell microfluidics.
