About

I am an applied mathematician currently completing a postdoctoral position in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Utah working with Dr. Nina De Lacy on foundation models for wearable sensors.

I recently completed my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington, advised by Dr. J. Nathan Kutz. I primarily worked on creating reduced-order models for characterizing plume dynamics, model discovery methods from sparse data observations, and joint work with the Scientific Machine Learning team at Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) on the discovery & feedback control for asymptotically stable dynamical systems.

Outside of work I am an avid rock climber. I also enjoy solving rubiks cubes where I regularly compete in competitions in the pacific northwest.
