In summer 2024, I participated in the Complex Systems REU at the University of Minnesota, advised by Arnd Scheel. There, I investigated vacuum formation in a model of collective motion with Antonio Madrigal and Annie Warren under the mentorship of Angel Chavez and Olivia Clifton. See the associated preprint and JMM poster.
From fall 2023 to spring 2025, I worked on a project researching the dynamics of a model for interacting tipping elements in the climate system, i.e. large geographic regions such as the Amazon rainforest and polar ice sheets that are prone to reaching critical thresholds due to global warming. This research was conducted under the mentorship of Perrin Davidson in Daniel Rothman’s group at MIT and presented at AGU 2024.
In summer 2023, I participated in the Patterns and PDEs REU at Leiden University, advised by Paul Carter (UC Irvine) and Arjen Doelman (Leiden University). There, I researched front dynamics in a reaction-diffusion model of tumor invasion with Daniel Levy and Erin Okey. See the associated publication and JMM presentation slides.
