I am an Assistant Professor at the College of the Holy Cross in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Previously, I was a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor (a postdoctoral position) in Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I earned my B.A. in Mathematics from College of the Holy Cross in 2017, followed by a Ph.D. in Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering from Michigan State University in 2022. I also worked as a graduate student intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory from 2020–2022.
My research interests include topological data analysis, network science, and complex systems. In particular, I enjoy working on applications in social and biological systems.
