  6. Thomas Williams

    Thomas is a PhD candidate under the supervision of A/Prof James Osborne and Prof James McCaw at the University of Melbourne. His work applies a temporospatial modelling approach to viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2 within tissue. An earlier project studied diffusion properties of carcinomas in cancer progression.
