I am a PhD candidate in Applied and Interdisciplinary Math (AIM) and Scientific Computing at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I started my PhD program in Fall of 2023, after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Applied Math with a concentration in quantum mechanics. I am also a 2023-2024 Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering (MICDE) Fellow. I am co-advised by Prof. Shravan Veerapaneni and Prof. Eric Michielssen.

My research is in developing fast and accurate Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) methods for simulating flow-structure and flow-particle interactions in the low-Reynold’s number regime. In particular, we aim to better resolve complex physical constraints such as complicated geometry or periodicity. My current projects focus on improving forward solvers in optimization problems on channel or swimmer shape involving special geometry – in particular structures and particles with circular cross-sections.

As a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI), I have taught the introductory Calculus sequence (Math 115, 116) at the University of Michigan for multiple sememsters, in both group and individual section settings.

Outside of math, I enjoy a lot of outdoor and indoor activities. When the weather holds up, I enjoy going on runs, hikes, or simply walking along the Border to Border trail. I play tennis, and I dabble in alpine, cross-country skiing, and figure skating. When it’s dark or rainy, I enjoy watching detective/crime movies and shows, reading memoirs, and doing puzzles.
