I aspire to work with scientific visionaries to tackle societal problems.
What I currently do.
I am a 4th year PhD student in the Applied Math Program at the University of Arizona. I work in Soliton Theory where my goal is to develop a kinetic theory of MKDV solitons under the advisement of Dr. Vladimir Zakharov. Thus far, I've derived the focusing and defocusing MKDV equations and derived 1- and 2-soliton solutions using the Dressing Method.
I also work on computing marginal probabilities of graphical models of infection for covid modeling under the advisement of Dr. Misha Chertkov. We seek to determine the probability that a census tract becomes infected given the average number of people traveling in and out of each census tract.
