YBB Research

My current research interest is broadly geometric and topological data analysis. I am currently a post doc at the Institut for Matematiske fag at Aalborg University, working chemists to understand structure in disordered materials.

I completed my PhD at the Australian National University and the University of Sydney, and my supervisors were Dr Kate Turner, Dr Vanessa Robins, Professor Stephan Tillmann and Dr Jonathan Spreer. I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at the University of Sydney, and my honours thesis was in Algebraic Geometry, supervised by Dr Emma Carberry, after which I completed a Master of Mathematical Sciences at ANU with Kate.

I identify as a mathematician masquerading in data science and statistics. My main interests include (algebraic) geometry, (algebraic) topology, and how these can be used in data analysis. Recently, I have focused on object reconstruction, object classification, and relating morphological features to physical properties. These types of problems arise in biology, biophysics, chemistry, and geospatial analysis.
