Biography

Welcome! I am a second-year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Jesse Chan at Department of Computational Applied Mathematics & Operations Research (CMOR), Rice University. My research interests include physical math and numerical methods, with a current focus on entropy stable reduced order modeling (ES-ROM) of nonlinear conservation laws using discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Math and Statistics with Highest Distinction from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During my undergraduate study, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Pedro Sáenz and Prof. Rodolfo Rosales on hydrodynamics spin lattices (HSLs).

Interests
