I am a mathematics Ph.D. student at University of Wisconsin-Madison. My doctoral minor is in statistics. My primary interests of the mathematical variety generally revolve around harmonic and complex analysis, along with applications to medicine and biophysics. I co-founded and co-organize for the Graduate Analysis and PDEs Seminar (GAPS).

Before starting the doctoral program, I completed my undergraduate studies in Mathematics and Biomedical Physics along with a Master’s in Mathematics at California State University, Fresno (go Bulldogs!). My Master’s thesis studied the zero distribution of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind with binomial-type coefficients. Afterwards, I briefly worked in institutional research and data science. Further details can be found on my CV.
