I am a graduate student in the UCLA Department of Biomathematics, an applied mathematics program with emphasis on biological applications. I work primarily on inverse problems in statistical physics and imaging. My research is in the intersection between mathematics, statistics, and computer science. I also work on modeling of neurophysiology using partial differential equations. My advisors are Tom Chou, KC Brennan, and Van Savage. Additionally, I previously had completed an MS in Statistics under the tutelage of Rick Schoenberg, and Jan de Leeuw. I am currently seeking postdoctoral positions in applied mathematics and mathematical biology. Please, do not hesitate to hire me.
