I I am a mathematical biologist and an assistant professor at Oregon State University Math Department. I lead a research team that works on modeling of population dynamics, genetics, and infectious diseases, with an emphasis on optimizing control strategies.

In 2019, I co-founded the Math For All conference, to foster inclusivity in mathematics research.
