I am a National Science Foundation ASCEND Postdoc Fellow at the Ohio State University working with Daniel Thompson.
My research interests center on dynamical systems and ergodic theory, with a specific focus on the thermodynamic formalism of non-uniformly hyperbolic systems. Before coming to OSU, I obtained my Ph.D. in 2023 from the University of Houston under the tutelage of Vaughn Climenhaga.
Outside of my research, I feel a strong sense of responsibility to advocate for greater minority representation in STEM fields. I actively seek opportunities to engage with young people from underrepresented groups, aiming to inspire and demonstrate that individuals who look like me can indeed achieve significant success in these areas.
A brief history of my academic and philanthropic endeavors can be found on CV located here.

The Lorenz attractor is one of the fundamental examples of chaos. This video illustrates how miniscule differences in initial conditions can cause drastic difference over time.
The Taylor-Chirikov Standard map is historically interesting example of non-uniform hyperbolicity since one can find (at scale) hyperbolic orbits are trapped within elliptic islands.
