Mathematical Biology

I study mathematical models of biological systems. I'm specifically interested in using ordinary differential equations to model the human endocrine system.

In December 2022, I defended my master's thesis, "Examining the Dynamics of Ovulatory Disruptions."

I am currently working with mathematical models of ovulation

My dissertation explores the impact of stress on ovulatory dysfunction

Upcoming Presentations
