I completed my doctorate in mathematics at UCLA, under the mentorship of Professor V.S. Varadarajan.  Prior to my current role at UCR, I held academic positions at UCLA, NTNU, and USC. 

I work in mathematical physics, analysis, and probability.  My research questions are generally driven by my desire to understand: the emergence of order from randomness; the finite approximation and compositionality of physical systems; the foundations of quantum theory; and the properties and discrete approximation of distributions, measures, and diffusion processes that have certain prescribed spacetime symmetries.  I invite you to explore my research page to discover my group's fun and exciting research activities.  Here is some information if you would like to be a part of my research group.

A native of Southern California and a product of the LA Unified and UC systems,  I am dedicated to giving back to the State that provided me with my educational opportunities.  I am passionate about supporting educators at all levels who seek to enhance their mathematics education and/or engage in research.  There are many interesting areas of research for students and educators to explore that are both accessible and open-ended.  Please contact me if you are interested in participating in any capacity in my outreach program.  For more detailed information, please visit:  The VITAL Mathematics Outreach Program.
