I am a microbiologist turned mathematical modeller and like to use individual-based models to understand the dynamics of microbial communities. I am interested in interactions between microbes such as competition, cooperation, communication, plasmid transfer or predation. Currently I am Lecturer in Computational Biology at the University of Birmingham UK.

I have started editing Wikipedia when I saw pages about topics I teach, mainly to undergraduate and postgraduate students in the School of Biosciences, that are incorrect or misleading, and I worry that my students read Wikipedia and get it wrong in the exam. This is why I have edited the page on chemostats and some others.

I wish I had more time to edit more pages that could do with some improvement of the science.
