Biography
Before coming to Brown, I did my B.S. in physics and mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin and a masters at Princeton in plasma physics. I am broadly interested in many fields of math, primarily PDEs, computing, and dynamics; above all, I enjoy using theoretical ideas to develop practical applications, particularly those of relevance to physics. Outside the classroom, you can find me bouldering, outdoorsing, playing guitar, or learning new languages.
