I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University at Albany, State University of New York.

My research interests lie at the interface of scientific machine learning, statistical modeling, and scientific computing, with applications spanning mathematical biology, biomedical and geophysical imaging, and fluid dynamics.
