About

Hello! I’m a research scientist at Michigan Tech Research Institute in Ann Arbor, MI with a background in numerical analysis, data mining, deep learning, and computational electromagnetics. I believe in collaboration in science and technology, as well as the promotion of diversity, innovation, and inclusivity. By developing open-source software and promoting scientific computing, I hope to advance scientific knowledge and have a positive impact on society.

My Work and Research

As a computational scientist, my expertise includes utilizing quantitative and computational methods in order to improve algorithms, open-source software, and scientific research. I have a broad background spanning various areas of computer science and applied mathematics. In terms of academic research, my interests lie in acoustics, fluid mechanics, high-performance computing, machine learning, and partial differential equations. I’m particularly drawn to calculating zeros of the Riemann zeta function, time series analysis, and studying wave scattering in periodic media. I’m passionate about mentoring students and enjoy delving into the theoretical aspects of mathematical analysis.

My Background and History

I hold a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from UIC’s Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, an M.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics from UM-Dearborn, and a B.A. from Oakland University’s College of Arts and Sciences. I had the privilege of being mentored by David Nicholls and Frank Massey. Before completing my doctorate, I worked in industry as a software consultant at Workforce Software and completed a NSF Mathematical Sciences Graduate Internship at Argonne National Laboratory and the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. My long term objectives involve developing innovative theorems and computational techniques in applied mathematics and machine learning, as well as expanding my knowledge of numerical analysis.

My Communities

When I’m not working on my research, I like to stay active and pursue my interests in running and astronomy. I’m an enthusiastic member of the Ann Arbor Running Club and have completed several half marathons in Michigan and Chicago. I’m also passionate about stargazing and enjoy being part of the UIC Astronomy Club and the Warren Astronomical Society. Teaching mathematics is another activity that brings me joy, and I’m excited to get back to my weekend tutoring sessions with like-minded peers.
