I am a first year PhD student at Emory University, studying computational mathematics and computer science. with a background in computational biological engineering. While I have had many opportunities for hands-on experience-- undergraduate biophysics researcher, biorobotics competitor, in-silico modeler-- my love for mathematics, particularly applied and computational mathematics has been central to my career and education. While, I am just starting my program at Emory, my research interest of scientific computing have been integral to my studies since taking my first numerical analysis course at Cornell and all throughout my time at Tufts. I have also been a course grader/ teaching assistant (Calculus I and Numerical Analysis sequence), given talks about quantum computing algorithms, and defended novel research on the topic of using tensor based approximations on a discretized fractional partial differential equations. I am looking for opportunities to further my academic career through internships, summer seminars/ schools, and academic conferences.
