Research Experience
I’m currently working on my dissertation as part of an interdisciplinary NSF Research Training Grant in Uncertainty Quantification with a focus on its applications to the life sciences. Specifically, I’m diving into variance/derivative based global sensitivity analysis, which aims to understand and effectively quantify how different factors contribute to uncertainty in complex mathematical models.
Before starting graduate school, my research focused more heavily on pure mathematics. I wrote my undergraduate thesis with Dr. Aaron Abrams on a topic in combinatorial geometry, participated in the 2021 REU Program in topology at the University of Virginia, and worked on folded ribbon knots during the summer of 2020 with Dr. Elizabeth Denne. These experiences have shaped the way I approach problems in both pure and applied math, and I hope to feature research with undergraduates as a key aspect of my future career.
