Welcome to my webpage! I am a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at The Ohio State University. In 2016, I joined TGDA@OSU where I work with my advisor, Tamal Dey, on persistent homology and computational dynamics.

Update: Starting in Fall 2020, I will be transferring to the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University. In the interim, I will continue to check my OSU email address.

I have coauthored papers with 19 people. Here they are in alphabetical order: Guadalupe Canahuate, David Chiu, Guillaume Damiand, Nathan DeBardeleben, Tamal Dey, Rocio Gonzalez-Diaz, Anna Grim, Qiang Guan, Ben McCamish, Sarah Michalak, Laura Monroe, Marian Mrozek, Tim O’Connor, Peter Olver, Eduardo Paluzo-Hidalgo, Jason Sawin, Cheri Shakiban, Rob Thompson, and Joanne Wendelberger.
