I am a mathematics PhD student at the University of Minnesota, advised by Arnd Scheel. My research interests lie in dynamical systems and mathematical ecology. I am fortunate to be supported by the GAANN Fellowship.
Previously, I studied math and earth science as an undergraduate at MIT, where I researched the dynamics of climate tipping elements in the Rothman Group. I also conducted dynamical systems research through summer REU programs at Leiden University and the University of Minnesota, focusing on the mathematical analysis of tumor invasion and vacuum formation in collective motion. More information about my research projects and publications can be found here.
Research overview
My current research interests lie broadly in dynamical systems and mathematical ecology. I seek to understand the mechanisms governing how organisms move and interact over time and space in response to variable conditions. A complementary focus of my work is the role of spatial structure and heterogeneity in shaping ecosystem resilience and responses to environmental perturbations.
