About Me
I received my Ph.D. in applied and computational mathematics from Florida State University in August of 2016. I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher for Santiago Schnell in the department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology (MIP)Â at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). I'm interested in nonlinear dynamics, and my research (so far) has been in applying dynamical systems theory, bifurcation theory, and geometric singular perturbation theory to problems in physics, chemistry and biology.

Overview of Teaching Experience
I had the privilege of teaching at FSU for 7 years: 6 as a graduate TA and 1 as a postgraduate instructor. I taught courses ranging from the beginner level (pre-calculus and calculus), intermediate (differential equations, linear algebra, multivariable calculus) and the advanced undergraduate level (numerical linear algebra, numerical analysis, tensor calculus). You can find brief course descriptions on my CV, and you can view my performance evaluations below.
