About

I am a fifth 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, and I am currently working with a group at NOAA to develop an individual-based model for blue whales as part of the NSF Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP). See my research page for more information! Prior to attending Brown University, I received Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

I am currently co-organizing the weekly Lefschetz Center for Dynamical Systems Seminar at Brown University. Check the website for the most up-to-date schedule!
