About me
I am currently an Assistant Research Professor at Temple University, researching various fluid dynamics models with Dr. Mihaela Ignatova.
I completed my Ph.D. in Spring of 2023 under advisor Dr. Zachary Bradshaw. My thesis concerned Asymptotic and Separation properties of discretely self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
My current research interests include Fluid Dynamics and Partial Differential Equations, specifically self-similar blow up regimes, stability of vortices to perturbations, and behavior of inviscid limits.
