Biography

I am a fourth-year PhD student in applied mathematics at UCLA. I am interested in nonlinear PDEs and dynamical systems, mathematical modeling, scientific computing, and data-driven methods for learning. 

I completed a B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics at Brigham Young University. As an undergraduate, I researched the N-body problem, stochastic switched systems, and gerrymandering. As a masters student, I was advised by Professor Jared Whitehead. I did research in data assimilation and continuous parameter estimation for chaotic systems, and my thesis was "Data Assimilation and Parameter Recovery for Rayleigh-Bénard Convection."
