About

I am a fourth year graduate student in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University, working with Professor Björn Sandstede. My research interests include dynamical systems and mathematical biology, and my thesis research is on the stability of spiral waves patterns associated with cardiac arrhythmias. I am a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Prior to attending Brown University, I received Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
