Research Information

I am a Hale Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My mentor is Rachel Kuske. 

Previously, I was a PhD student in the Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics (AIM) program at the University of Michigan. My advisors were Victoria Booth and Daniel Forger.  I also obtained the Graduate Certificate on Computational Neuroscience.  

My interests lie in the intersection of Applied Dynamical Systems, Bifurcation Theory with applications in Mathematical Neuroscience and Mechanics, and Mathematical Modeling. My research focuses on:

1. Analyzing dynamics of vibro-impact systems and

2. Understanding the mechanisms of sleep-wake regulation and analyzing bifurcation phenomena due to developmentally-mediated changes in sleep-wake behavior.
