Jennifer Flegg

I’m a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne.

My research focuses on mathematical biology in areas such as wound healing, tumour growth and epidemiology.

I was awarded a PhD in 2009 from Queensland University of Technology on “Mathematical modelling of chronic wound healing”. From 2010 – 2013, I was at the University of Oxford developing mathematical models for the spread of resistance to antimalarial drugs. From 2014 – April 2017 I was a Lecturer in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University. In May 2017 I joined the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne. In 2016 I started a Discovery Early Career Research Award to study and mathematically model venous leg ulcers.
