About Me:

I am currently a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Mathematics at the University of British Columbia (UBC). I recently completed my PhD at UBC working with Dr. Nassif Ghoussoub. My research interests are in optimal transportation and its applications, particularly to congested crowd motion. Previously, I completed a BSc. in Physics & Mathematics, and a MSc. in Mathematics (with Dr. Martial Agueh) at the University of Victoria.

Miscellaneous Thoughts:

We have not succeeded in answering all our problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.

- From the book by Oksendal

Life is full of problems. There are no answers in the back of the book. All you can do is just try something, just do something. And when you're completely stymied, you have to do something nonetheless. And I actually think mathematics teaches exactly that.
