Hello! I am an applied mathematician whose research focuses on computational modeling and numerical analysis for real-world systems, from materials science to complex fluids. My work uses rigorous mathematics and high-performance computing to extract low-dimensional structure, support visualization, and guide understanding of complex phenomena. As an educator, I balance mathematical rigor with active learning techniques to create an inclusive, engaging classroom that fosters deep understanding and lifelong learning. I aim to prepare students to think critically, model applied problems, and connect mathematics to the world around them.
Currently, I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at Smith College working with Becca Thomases. We are modeling sperm movement in viscous and viscoelastic fluids. Before Smith College, I was at UNC Charlotte working with Xingjie Helen Li where we created and conducted numerical analysis on 1-dimensional coupling schemes in solid materials.
My research interests lie in computational mechanics (solids and fluids), numerical analysis, math modeling, and machine learning.Â
I will be teaching Differential Equations in the fall of 2025. I am creating a numerical analysis course for Spring 2026.
I care deeply about accessibility to mathematics at all levels.
