I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor from the Department of Mathematics in the College of Engineering and Polymer Science at The University of Akron. Before joining Uakron, I spent two years as a Postdoctoral Lecturer in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Washington University in St. Louis. I mainly worked on Market Making problems and especially, the Dynamics of the Limit Order Book (LOB) with my mentor, Dr. José E. Figueroa-López. I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Mathematics from Iowa State University in 2022 and was advised by Dr. Ananda Weerasinghe on Queueing Theory and Stochastic Control. I also hold a Master of Science degree in Applied Mathematics from ISU.
