Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New york University, supervised by Professor Aleksandar Donev and Professor Leslie Greengard. Broadly speaking, I work in the area of applied and computational mathematics. Before coming to NYU, I obtained B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from Simon Fraser University, working with Professor David J. Muraki on wave instabilities (link).
