Postdoctoral Fellow in Mathematics at the University of British Columbia
I recently received my PhD in mathematics from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Next year, I will be working with Dr. Christoph Hauert and Dr. Chadi Saad-Roy as a postdoc at the University of British Columbia - Vancouver, funded by a Canada Impact+ Research Training Award.
I grew up in Portland, OR and graduated from Carleton College in 2020 with a B.A. in mathematics. Outside of math, I like cubing, climbing, and soccer.

My research area is math biology. During my PhD, I worked with Dr. Jasmine Foo and used stochastic processes to model cancer. In particular, I studied the evolution of drug resistance and biomarkers based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
As a postdoc at UBC, I will be using game theory, dynamical systems, and stochastic processes to study epidemiology.
