Dr Philip Pearce

Dr. Philip Pearce is a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at University College London (UCL) and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. Philip started his academic career at the University of Manchester where he completed a PhD in Applied Mathematics, and soon after became an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow. Between 2016 and 2019, Philip was an Instructor in Applied Mathematics at MIT, and then he spent two years as a Theory Fellow at Harvard Medical School. Currently, Philip uses mathematical modelling, often in close collaboration with experimental biologists, to investigate how molecular and genetic processes determine emergent function in complex biological systems (e.g. in cells, cell populations and/or tissues).
