About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at the United States Naval Academy. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in Industrial Engineering, my M.S. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Statistics and Operations Research, and my B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University in Mathematical Sciences. 

My research focuses on applying optimization and simulation to real world problems. Recent projects have spanned several areas including healthcare, disaster recovery, and undersea warfare. 

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and spending time with my pup, Layla. 

Recent Work

We develop a network model that graphically depcits the interrelated nature of neurocognitive functioning and symptoms of psychological distress throughout the concussion recovery process.

We develop an integer program to determine the optimal allocation of resources while accounting for uncertainty in the repair times to reopen grocery stores as quickly as possible after a natural disaster.
