My Research

I am an applied mathematician interested in studying complex physical and biological systems. I’m currently a PhD student at George Mason University, supervised by Benjamin Schweinhart.

My research program is focused on developing computational methods to distinguish morphologies in cellular-like structures. I work closely with experts in applied sciences to test hypotheses regarding the correlation of shape and configuration of cells with other observable phenomena. Specific examples include (but are not limited to) modeling tumor microenvironments, grain boundary dynamics in material microstructures, and endoplasmic reticulum networks of COS7 cells . If you’re interested in learning more about my work, check out my Research Projects! You can find my CV here.

When I’m not working on my research, I’m usually working on a creative side project (usually one of several). At the moment this includes cooking, painting, and film photography.
