Research Interests
I am currently enrolled in a PhD at the University of Adelaide under the supervision of Dr Derek Abbott. My general area of study is "transport mechanisms that depend on stochastic processes." At the moment I am concentrating on a class of devices called Brownian Ratchets. This page provides a public record of papers that I have written and conferences that I have attended in the course of this work.
