I am a mathematics PhD student at the University of Minnesota, advised by Arnd Scheel. I completed my bachelor’s degree in mathematics with minors in earth science and literature at MIT in 2025.
Research overview
My research interests lie broadly in dynamical systems, differential equations, and pattern formation with motivation from physics and ecology. I seek to understand how complex systems—such as ecosystems, cities, and Earth’s climate—evolve over time and space. While physical systems often behave in surprising and unpredictable ways, mathematical theory can provide useful insights into the mechanisms governing their behavior. I use and develop analytical and geometric techniques to improve our understanding of the mechanisms behind change.
