About Me


I'm a second year mathematics PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I am advised by Professor Saverio Spagnolie. 

My research lies within fluid dynamics, specifically fluid-structure interactions and active suspensions. More broadly, I’m interested in computational fluid dynamics, numerical methods, and high-performance computing.

I also did my undergraduate studies at UW-Madison with majors in applied mathematics and computer science. Before focusing on applied mathematics I was interested in cybersecurity and software engineering, and completed cybersecurity internships in the finance industry and at Crowdstrike.

My interests outside of mathematics include motorcycles, guitars, and distance running in Madison, WI.

This blog serves as an informal outlet for my thoughts on music, math, art, literature, and other things.
