This fall I am joining the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University as a Courant Instructor. I am interested in problems at the intersection of applied mathematics, computational science, and statistics. My work aims to combine complex physical models with data in a mathematically principled way. More concretely, my research has focused on inverse problems, data assimilation, and scientific machine learning.
I received my PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics at the University of Chicago in 2026, where I was fortunate to be advised by Daniel Sanz-Alonso. I completed my BS in Applied Mathematics at Case Western Reserve University in 2021.
