Research interests:

Probabilistic models motivated by population genetics
Spatial branching processes with interactions
Applications of probability theory to partial differential equations

Sarah’s research is in probability theory, mostly on stochastic processes related to population genetics. Often this involves studying spatial branching processes with interactions between nearby particles. She also uses probabilistic techniques to study solutions of partial differential equations.
