I am currently a postdoc in the Department of Mathematics at Duke University mentored by Tarek Elgindi and Jonathan Mattingly. Before coming to Duke, I was an ICERM postdoc at Brown University in the Fall of 2021 and completed my PhD at the University of Maryland in 2021 under the supervision of Jacob Bedrossian.
My research focuses on the analysis of stochastic systems and partial differential equations arising in the physical sciences, especially models from fluid mechanics. Topics of recent interest for me have been mixing/diffusion in passive scalar transport and the asymptotic properties of nonlinear SDEs motivated by turbulence.
