I am a mathematician at Curtin University. I use variational analysis and computational tools to study problems in nonlinear optimisation from a geometric standpoint. I work on splitting methods in particular, with applications including machine learning, data science, and signal recovery. In February 2019 I was awarded an AustMS Lift-Off Fellowship to fund my current project with Regina S Burachik and Minh N Dao on the Fitzpatrick Distance. In July 2019 I received the Alf van der Poorten Travelling Fellowship, which will support my project studying the relationship between convex conjugacy and projective duality. Some of my other current research projects include fixed point theory and gauge optimization, as well as error bounds for conic programming (with Bruno Lourenço, U Tokyo, and TK Pong, PolyU).

I earned my PhD at the Computer-Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications Priority Research Centre at University of Newcastle. It was founded by my adviser, Jonathan Borwein, who invited me to come to Australia to work with him.

Following completion of my PhD, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Hong Kong Polytechnic University department of Applied Mathematics for two and a half years.

Prior to my PhD, I earned an M.S. at Portland State University, USA.
