Cameron graduated with an MMath from the University of Bath in 2016 and has a particular interest in mathematical biology. His final year project investigated hybrid methods for simulating diffusion on a uniformly growing domain. Outside of his mathematical bubble, he enjoys running, playing football (badly!) and reading.

Research project title:
Spatial hybrid models in biology

Supervisor(s):
Kit Yates

Project description:
Spatial hybrid models are emerging methods used to simulate biological, chemical and physical phenomena on multiple scale levels. These methods take different models of the same system and at varying spatial resolutions, and employ them concurrently in different regions of the spatial domain. The main purpose of such hybrid models is to utilise the efficiency of coarser methods, whilst maintaining accuracy by using the finer methods where necessary. Cameron developed various spatial hybrid models for biological processes in order to gain insight into how the underlying systems behave. Focusing initially on reaction-diffusion systems, which can be used to model many biological systems, from cell migration to the intracellular calcium dynamics, he incorporated biological realism into such methods.
