l am an NSF (RTG in analysis) postdoctoral instructor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, working in the research group of the Analysis of PDEs.My research interests include optimal transportation, partial differential equations, and calculus of variations. I have also worked on topics such as variational mean field games associated only to optimal transport and kinetic equations. I received my PhD in May 2022 from UMass Amherst, supervised by Prof. Nestor Guillen. Before that I obtained my Bachelors degree in Mathematics from UCLA in 2013, and an MS degree from California State University, Los Angeles in 2015.
