I am a third year student in the Applied Mathematics PhD program at the University of Arizona. I work with Shankar Venkataramani and Alan Newell on natural stripe patterns. We are interested in macroscopic models describing defect-ridden ordered fields, and systems identification methods to discover order parameter dynamics from microscopic datasets.  I am also actively involved with Los Alamos National Lab, working on transformer models to provide accurate tsunami reconstructions from sparse sensor observations.
