Biography

I am a fourth year applied mathematics graduate student at UCLA. I am interested in the mathematics arising from engineering applications. As of now, I am focusing on control theory of dynamical systems and partial differential equations as well as fluid dynamics. Additionally, I am interested in the numerical aspects of such problems. I am currently working on projects on particle laden flow and control theory. I am also working on a project with Los Alamos National Laboratory on studying the role of entropy in numerical fluid dynamics. I completed my undergraduate degree at Fresno State in 2021, studying pure mathematics and mechanical engineering.

I am open to mentoring students through UCLA’s Directed Reading Program. Past projects I’ve mentored with students can be found under my teaching tab. I prefer to work with students on topics that aren’t directly covered in undergraduate math courses at UCLA. If you’re interested in areas I’m interested in or areas I may know something about, I encourage you to apply to the DRP at the beginning of the quarter!
