I am a RTG Postdoc at the University of Wisconsin-Madison working with Hung Tran and Laurel Ohm. Previously, I completed a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania where I worked with Yoichiro Mori and Ryan Hynd. My PhD work was done at North Carolina State University under the supervision of Lorena Bociu.
I enjoy working on research related to fluid flows in tissues as well as control problems for PDEs. Understanding the theory in both of these areas allows me to work on control problems with biological applications.
I am dedicated to my research in partial differential equations, and I care about the students I teach. I attend many conferences related to my research and participate in teaching trainings.
